Napoleon against Europe

Players direct the fortunes of the Emperor and the opposing coalitions across Europe during the Napoleonic era. Each side draws from period-specific card decks and manages corps-level land forces and naval fleets, plus famous elite units and named generals whose quality affects operations. Play proceeds in six rounds per year as players recruit, equip and redeploy forces, manage lines of communication, and resolve campaigns using mechanics for forced marches, attrition, evasion, interceptions and decisive battles. Strategic planning and operational execution both matter: France seeks continental dominance and blockade of Britain, while the Coalition pursues long-term strategies to exhaust its opponent.
