About this game

Players take the role of a Napoleonic-era power and move miniature plastic infantry, cavalry and artillery to simulate the campaigns of Napoleon. Several difficulty levels and scenarios included in the box.

Standard game also includes diplomacy, fleets, and economic system.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 7.
• Rules load. At 3.5/5 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.
