Napoleonic version of Fire & Fury, comes complete with the usual Napoleonic OCD.

The scaling seems wrong compared to Fire & Fury. Our Quatre-Bras was wall-to-wall bases.

Good napoleonic feeling !!! The view of units on table is similar to "napoleons battles" rules !!!

Fire and Fury doesn't work for Napoleonics. Contrived reserve area makes it worse.

Solid set of rules for the napoleonic period. Uses same basing as Napoleond Battles.

Excellent set of rules, with 2nd edition adding much needed buffs to the rules.

Grand tactical Napoleonic gaming at its best. It differentiates enough between troop types that you feel you are commanding the wonderfully diverse armies of the era without bogging down in arcane detail.

These are the only Napoleonic rules I have played that feel like a battle report. While the battle lines engage, reserves can jet to threatened sectors. Cavalry charges have the sweep and drama that the period demands. Artillery is deadly.

The morale system works very well. Ground down corps are very fragile. Fresh troops committed at a crucial spot can turn the tide of battle.
