Description from the back of the box.
The game uses an interactive Igo/Hugo sequence with an emphasis on leadership. It is a dynamic exercise in the application of limited administrative resources to maneuver, and a contest of skill, finesse, and hammer blows. Each Game Turn represents two days of real time. Each map hex equals two miles from side to side. Optional rules permit hidden movement, simulate the loss and regaining of combat effectiveness, and model the effects of fatigue. Four complete scenarios are included — ranging from the brief Aspern-Essling and Wagram battle scenarios to the lengthy Historical and Alternate campaigns.
The Campaign: Three grueling months of bitter conflict, thrusting Napoleon’s “little conscripts” against a re-vitalized Austrian army determined to avenge its humiliating defeats of the past. An embattled advance along more than 200 miles of the Danube Valley in a contest of maneuver, thrust, and counterthrust immortalized on such battlefields as Abensberg, Ratisbon, Ebelsberg, Aspern-Essling, and Wagram.
The System Design: A proven classic representation of Napoleonic warfare, demanding a delicate balance among command and communication, daring and discretion. A dynamic exercise in the application of limited administrative resources to maneuver, and a tense contest of skill, finesse, and hammer blows.
The Presentation: Sophistication without needless complexity. An innovative rules format, complementing the exceptional graphics, quickly orients players to the game’s essential and subtle relationships.
The Game: The ultimate experience in Napoleonic gaming — quickly grasped, a lifetime to master, an endless challenge.
