<![if !vml]> <![endif]>Moeller, ChristopherNAPOLEON’S EAGLES 2: Hundred Days Wargame of the final four battles of the Napoleonic age: Quatre Bras and Ligny (June 16, 1815), and Waterloo and Wavre (June 18, 1815). Two campaign games allow the battles of the 16th and 18th to be played together, as well as a grand campaign that combines all four battles. While there are multiple scenarios presented in the game, each with its own special rules and conditions for victory, most battles are won by inflicting nine demoralizations on an opponent’s army, before they do the same to you. Combat is a back and forth affair, using specially designed decks of playing cards. Combat units, featuring glorious period artwork, represent infantry and cavalry formations, massed artillery formations, and those leaders operating at the highest levels (Wing and Army command). Product Information:
Components: 225 Poker-sized cards which include 89 Unit Cards, 32 Terrain and Info Cards, and 104 Playing Cards; Two Player Aid Cards; Three Scenario Set-up Cards; One Rules and Scenario Book; and 1 Box and Lid set. 1 vol, 1 pgs 2023 US, COMPASS GAMES NEW-box, available late June…..$55.00 OMM Discount 15%: Now $46.75 …here in 4-6 weeks |
