Overview
Les Maréchaux (The Marshals) is an operational wargame designated to simulate campaigns led by French marshals and generals of French Revolution and 1st Empire, when Napoleon was not directly acting on the theater of operations.
The game includes two scenarios: - "Junot 1808" related to general Junot's campaign in Portugal against Wellesley, during summer 1808. - "Soult 1809" related to marshal Soult's campaign in Portugal against Wellesley, during winter and spring 1809.
