"NAPOLEON is an historical strategy game in which two or three players may restage the famous Waterloo campaign. The game opens with Napoleon's army mobilized on the French border. As Napoleon, you must invade Belgium and quickly defeat the allied British and Prussian armies before they can unite and crush you beneath their combined weight.
Luck plays little part. By smartly maneuvering your army along roads, through towns and across rivers, you can create the very maneuvers which Napoleon used so long ago in bringing the allied armies to battle under his terms.
Actual battles are ingenious and exciting conflicts which readily capture the style and tempo of a Napoleonic battle. Your three dimensional playing pieces mask the type and strength of your forces to the enemy while you deploy for battle. Your infantry, cavalry, artillery and horse artillery all have different tactical roles and advantages. Your infantry can attack, defend, or form square against unsupported cavalry. Cavalry can charge with doubled shock effect, cover retreats, or wreak havoc among unsupported or retreating infantry and artillery. Artillery can mass to bombard a defensive position or tear huge holes in an attacking infantry force.
Napoleon lost at Waterloo, but a victory was very possible and this game allows you to turn the tables on history.
Game includes 16" x 22" full color mapboard, set of 48 wooden playing pieces, four dice, two Battle Cards, rules and historical notes."
