A Matter of Honor is an action-packed two-player tactical board game using a simple but effective area impulse activation system. The game captures the dramatic intensity of the Battle of Le Bourget during the Franco-Prussian War and its desperate house to house fighting. Added chromes include random event cards featuring historical events players may use to influence the outcome of the battle. Units are companies of elite Prussian Guards, facing determined French Regulars and National Guardsmen in a fight to the finish and for a matter of honor.

The game by Jacques Rabier, developed by Art Bennett, features game art by José Ramon Faura.

The game comes with a rulebook, 24 event cards, three double-sided player aids, a game map, and 120 counters.
