TWILIGHT OF THE EMPEROR: Wargame Rules for European Battles in the Age of Napoleon 1800-1815

1-245280

Napoleonic era (circa 1800-1815) rules for large historical battles makes players the army commander. Units are typically around 3,000 foot or 1,500 mounted and so the units are often the equivalent to a 'brigade' or large continental regiments. Includes scenarios for Austerlitz (1805), Abensburg (1809), Talavera (1809) and Dennewitz (1813).

The scale is flexible with all distances, ranges, movements based on half of the frontage of the units you use. For example, if your units have a frontage of perhaps 120mm (about 6 inches) the standard measurement unit in the game will be 60mm. There is no figure removal so you can base you units as you wish, with any number or size of figures on a base, etc. As long as the units are the same frontage it does not matter and indeed neither does it if the armies involved are based differently. While any unit size can be used if the frontage of a unit is in the region of 120mm then many battles can be fought on a table 1.8m by 1.2m (6 feet by 4 feet) or similar.
