2-249670 Fratt, Steve THE VICTORY IS OURS: A Napoleonic Warfare Battle Manual PDF Version Napoleonic ruleset in Fratt's Battle Manual series that focuses on the psychological effect of battle. Emphasizes the need for gamers not to have to rebase their figures but instead mount existing troops on movement trays. Focuses on close combat instead of prolonged, drawn-out firefights. Morale and cohesion are key deciding factors in the psychological effects on combat so that the focus is less on consulting charts and more on feeling true to history. The rules are robust but contain countless color pictures, diagrams, and player aids. Also contains Battle of Quatre Bras scenario.1 vol, 137 pgs 2025 US, ON MILITARY MATTERS

*Art of War: Wachau 1813* Wargame with die-cut counters: Wachau 1813. Simulation of the October 16th battle that took place south of Leipzig, pitting Schwartzenberg's Bohemian army against a large portion of the Imperial Army in Napoleon's hands. To succeed where Napoleon narrowly failed, or to outdo Schwartzenberg and achieve a prestigious victory, players will need to optimize their plan by cleverly managing the fog of war simulated via Random Events. Early arrivals of reinforcements, the charge of Drouot's artillery or Murat's heavy cavalry, the intervention of the Tsar's escort, or the presence of marshes-all these elements are in the players' hands to thwart the enemy's plan and create a tactical surprise that could lead to a decisive victory.

Units: 1 strength point for 1,000 infantry or 650 cavalry; Scale: Division or Brigade; Complexity: 7/10; Duration: Approximately 90 to 120 minutes; For two players; Scale: Grand Tactical; one turn: 1 hour1 vol, 84 pgs 2025 FRANCE, CERIGO EDITIONS

2-207290 Baumer, Robert W AACHEN: The US Army's Battle for Charlemagne's City in World War II By September 1944, the Allied advance across France and Belgium had turned into a war of attrition along the German frontier. Standing between the Allies and the Third Reich's industrial heartland was the city of Aachen, once the ancient seat of Charlemagne's empire and now firmly entrenched within Germany's Siegfried Line fortifications. The last time a major German city had been lost to the enemy was over a century earlier during the Napoleonic Wars, and Hitler wasn't about to let that happen again. He ordered Aachen defended to the last man and bullet. Thanks to hard fighting by some of the U.S. Army's finest units, including the 1st Infantry Division ('Big Red One'), the 30th Infantry Division ('Roosevelt's SS'), the 2nd Armored Division ('Hell on Wheels'), and the 3rd Armored Division ('Spearhead'), the Americans gradually encircled Aachen.
