On December 2nd, 1804, Napoleon Bonaparte was coronated Emperor of France. By placing the crown upon his head with his own hands, Bonaparte brought all of Europe to the brink of war. For by its very nature, the act of self-coronation threatened the rule and challenged the legitimacy of every government then in existence.
To restore the sanctity of the divine right and position based on noble birth, the European monarchies branded Bonaparte an international outlaw and pledged to remain at war against France until the Corsican usurper was overthrown and the Bourbon was restored. For the next ten years, the fate of the French Empire rested on the on the abilities of the man: as a warrior and as a peacemaker.
Now YOU command Napoleon's Grand Armee! From the autumn of 1805 through the climactic summer of 1815, the entire ten-year conflict between France, England, Austria, Prussia, Russia, and Spain, is re-created in ten separate scenarios. Each historical scenario is presented as a separate two-player game with an average playing time of 2-3 hours.
