Austerlitz: The Battle of the 3 Emperors (1981)

Overview

This is the reconstruction of the great Napoleonic battle on the new grid of hexagons and squares, on a three dimensional map. The rules are the amplification and development of those used in “Jena” and “Waterloo”, which were a bit simpler, including the addition of new elements such as Dragoons and the differentiated capacities of the various commanding officers.

Degree of difficulty: 5/6
