“An honorable peace?” is a straightforward recreation of the Battle of Tarqui, which took place on the plains of Tarqui near Cuenca, in present-day Ecuador, on 27 February 1829. This battle was fought between the armies of Peru and Gran Colombia, which at the time included the modern-day countries of Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela. Although little known outside these countries, it was a key battle in defining the spheres of influence of the countries.
During each turn, players will alternate activating their units one at a time until all units are either exhausted or the players choose to stop activating them. Each activation allows a unit or stack to perform one action: movement, combat, or fire. After each activation, units must always check their readiness status. Victory conditions involve the elimination of enemy units and control of key geographical objectives.

From their website... SNAFU Team is a wargaming club created in 1992, always based near Barcelona (on the Vallès shire). After using premises in different cities, four years ago the club purchased permanent premises in the city of Sabadell and opened a wargaming-oriented shop (SNAFU Store). With a gaming experience of more than 30 years, the dream of creating and publishing our own games has always been in our collective mind, and two years ago we started the development of our first game and thus SNAFU Design was born. https://snafustore.com/en/
