The French player has no choice other than imposing his will on the entire Europe so as to isolate Britain by a tight blockade forcing the continental powers to recognise French hegemony: the decision must be made between the wild Iberian Peninsula and the steppes of Russia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach side has its own deck of cards divided into two periods: Epic and the Punishments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach player controls naval fleets and land troops presented at the level of army corps, other units are those of great renown from this period such as the Imperial Guard Cavalry, the King’s German Legion etc... The quality of the generals of each side plays an essential role in operations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn six rounds of play a year, the players must not only have a long term view of their objectives but must also demonstrate operational skill in the course of the campaigns: the importance of lines of communication will be fundamental to bringing their armies to the decisive battle! The game system takes account of forced marches, attrition, evasion, counter-marches and interceptions…\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn an immense theatre of operations, each side will attempt to seize the initiative and each year equip forces allowing it to continue the struggle and to redeploy them with foresight before engaging in the operations phase: unhappy the player who fails to take into account the communication distances.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAgainst the operational excellence of the French, the Coalition must respond with a strategic long-term vision that will permit him to exhaust his foe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow, it is up to you to decided if l'Aiglon will be Napoléon II or the Duc de Reichstadt !\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGame components\u003cbr\u003eOne large mounted map (96 cm × 67 cm),\u003cbr\u003e216 15mm die-cut counters,\u003cbr\u003e140 13mm die-cut counters,\u003cbr\u003e110 playing cards,\u003cbr\u003eOne full-colour rules booklet,\u003cbr\u003eGame aids,\u003cbr\u003eTwo 6-side dice,\u003cbr\u003eA sturdy box.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Hexasim","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":34158322573,"sku":"34158322573","price":72.13,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/www.booyakajuice.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/pic1446887.jpg?v=1578609228","url":"https:\/\/www.booyakajuice.com\/products\/napoleon-against-europe","provider":"booyakajuice","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
