This new edition of Waterloo 1815, Fallen Eagles provides a fully revised order of battle and a new map with an improved topographic accuracy.
The rules include all the evolutions of the game system since the 1st opus in the Eagles of France series. The focus remains on morale, attrition and commitment of formation (division & corps) at the right time, rather than tactical chrome.

Quatre-Bras 1815: Last Eagles is the fourth game in the Eagles of France serie to be released in Q1 2019. More simulation of a Napoleonic battle rather than just a re-creation.

At Quatre-Bras, Wellington's army arrived at the last minute to counter Ney's advancing troops. At the end of the day, the Anglo-Allied outnumbered the French and were able to counter attack.

Several scenarios are available: Quatre-bras historical, Quatre-bras with variable reinforcements (what if D'Erlon or Uxbridge had arrived?), and two other what if scenarios: Ney's morning attack, Wellington already concentrated versus Ney

This game will link up with Ligny 1815: Last Eagles to provide a full campaign experience with interaction between both battles. Using hidden units with fog of war and variable reinforcements, the players will be as close as possible to the real life situation. Where are the French attacking? When exactly my reinforcements will arrive?

Ligny 1815: Last Eagles is the third title of the Eagles of France series after Fallen Eagles (Waterloo) and Rising Eagles (Austerlitz).(to be released Q4 2017)
At Ligny, Blucher accepted battle with Napoleon assuming that Wellington would not be too far. The French nearly achieved a decisive victory which could have changed completely the dynamic of the Belgium campaign.

This game will link up with a coming release Quatre-Bras 1815 to provide an ultimate experience at this scale of the 16th of June 1815 battles that could have decided the campaign before Waterloo.

Historical battle and smaller scenarios will be available with the same set of rules. But this games adds variable reinforcements rules as a variant. Both sides will be unsure about what they could get. Using the fog of war rules, players will be as close as possible to the real life situation. No more helicopter view and automatic historical insight.

Rising Eagles is to be the the second volume of the « Eagles » series. Following on from Fallen Eagles (The Battle of Waterloo), Rising Eagles covers another of history’s most famous battles - Austerlitz.

Game scale is regiment level for units, 250m per hex and one hour of real time per turn. The map has been produced by the combined efforts of Rick Barber (topography) and Sebastien Brunel (graphics, as in Fallen Eagles).
The game will include at least three short scenarios, together with a full battle scenario, offering alternative options to simulate the ‘fog of war’ and battle plans.

The order rules In Rising Eagles will have an even greater impact than those in Fallen Eagles. The ability to change orders will be reduced and it will be more difficult to “recall” formations, once launched. Initial planning will be an important feature, as befits a Napoleonic battle of such a scale.

In addition, ‘fog of war’ has been further developed and will be part of the main rules. Players will share some of the uncertainty experienced by the actual commanders, as to what precisely they are facing.

Initial play tests have shown that Rising Eagles continues to provide a tense and exciting game play, with strategic battle planning assuming a greater significance than the ‘slogging match’ of Waterloo.
