About the game
The Prussian army of 1806 was a well-trained and disciplined force with many excellent units, but they were famously defeated by Napoleon at Jena and Auerstädt. Animated by vengeance, the reformed Prussian army was instrumental in Napoleon’s ultimate defeat. Two Armies in One Box: König und Vaterland (king and fatherland) is a set of 95 unit cards that allow you to build either/both the Prussian armies for Blücher and for Scharnhorst campaigns. All the units and officers from both the early- and late-war armies are included. —description from the publisher
