About the game
The empire strikes back with a vengeance in the latest edition of this widely acclaimed book which enables any reader to reverse the tables at Waterloo or avert the French disasters in Spain and Russia! Packed with information on every aspect of Napoleonic warfare, it shows the wargamer how to make his miniature battles look even more realistic and satisfying through a proper understanding of strategy, lines of communication, logistics and other essentials, down to the price of a musket ball or a pair of infantryman's boots. Stimulating and full of ideas, it is no wonder that this book is the one against which all others on the subject are judged.
