About the game
Mark G. McLaughlin's classic game on Napoleonic conquest is here. Revitalized and enhanced with completely updated graphics and production, all new campaigns covering all of Napoleon's career, and a completely revamped rulebook that incorporates all known errata, and the best official variants and optional rules, along with a few new surprises. From the rainy opening months of 1796 through the climactic summer of 1815, the entire decades-long conflict between France, England, Austria, Prussia, Russia, and Spain is recreated in 13 separate scenarios. Each historical scenario is presented as a separate two-player game with an average playing time of 2–3 hours. Also included is the grand campaign game that covers the 10-year conflict of empires from 1805 to 1815. —description from the publisher
