*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 hour
