Manoeuvre - Distant Lands is a fast-playing game of battlefield command, set in the early 19th Century.
It can be played as a stand-alone game, but it is recommended that for enhanced variety of armies, it is best to combine with the original Manoeuvre.
Multiple geomorphic game maps provide the chessboard-sized battlefields over which eight different armies of the time period move and fight in one-on-one battles.
The four armies are - Sweden, India, China and Japan. All are radically different from each other, and three of them (India, China and Japan) are radically different from most of the eight armies in Manoeuvre.
