On one side, you had the Royalist camp who wanted to stay under the great Empire of Spain, while the Patriots were fighting for freedom and independence. Which side are you on? Will you lead the Patriots to victory and independence, or are you a fair dinkum Spanish royalist wanting to keep the Spanish American countries under Spain by crashing down the revolt?

Short review but as things currently stand, no I can't recommend this game. There are bugs that break the game and the battle simulation is a step back from the one that works so well in Wars Across the World. I may well upgrade my score later if there are fixes but for now, I've got to down vote this

A few years ago I read an excellent book on a much neglected subject, Liberators by Robert Harvey. Sadly, I could not find a single game on the subject, so when this title was announced I was rather excited. Like, I suspect, many of you, on release I messed about with it for a few minutes, then added it to my collection of unplayed games I would, at some point, get around to. One thing this dreadful lockdown has enabled me to do is finally play a few of these titles, this one included. I was already familiar with ‘War’s Across The World’,with which this game is bound to be compared as it shares a very similar game system. This enabled me to pick the game up very quickly. How I wish I had made more effort to play it earlier, as it is an absolute delight, and leaves me with that ‘just one more turn’ feeling when you have other things you need to do, like sleep. The complex political situation is handled nicely by the cards, leaving the player free to focus more on military matters. You do need to build up your forces, prior to embarking on any military campaigns, BUT, be careful not to build them up beyond your countries ability to maintain them. I speak from (unhappy) experienc…

This is a likable game on a not oft gamed subject. It is a bit buggy and somewhat hard to learn/follow at the start. It is worth the effort alone due to the subject matter. Worth getting on sale, in any event.

Excellent game! Incredibly well researched historical data and fun to play.
