La Bataille de Paris: 1814, Le Crépuscule de l'Aigle is a two-player Tactical level board-wargame on the last phase of the campaign in France in 1814. The coalition forces (Russian-Austrian-Prussian) must quickly seize the capital weakly defended to end the rule of Napoleon who stayed too long behind.
