Austerlitz — The Battle of Pratzen and Sokolnitz, 1-2 Dec. Napoleon's Wheel is the next games from OSG's The Library of Napoleonic Battles series. Details on the series are below, as all the games share a common rules set and game system. Napoleon's Wheel will be the last TLNB entry to include cards. The card deck in Napoleon's Wheel will be a universal (common) deck that will be the official card deck for all games to follow. (This deck will be available separately on OSG's online store.) Once you have a copy of this common deck you won't need another. The retail price of the games appearing after Napoleon's Wheel will be reduced to reflect the printing and manufacturing savings. —description from the publisher STANDARD TLNB-GAME SYSTEM: • scale: 480m (525 yards)/ hex; • strength: 500-800 men/SP; • turn-duration: 1 hour/turn

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 4. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 3.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
