Publisher's Description:

Napoleon is an historical strategy game in which two players may restage the famous Waterloo campaign. The game opens with Napoleon's army mobilized on the French border. As Napoleon, you must invade Belgium and quickly defeat the allied British and Prussian armies before they can unite and crush you beneath their combined weight.

Luck plays little part. by smartly maneuvering your army along roads, through towns and acros rivers, you can create the very maneuvers which Napoleon used so long ago in bringing the allied armies to battle under his terms.

Actual battles are ingenious and exciting conflicts which readily capyure the style and tempo of a Napoleonic battle. Your three dimensional playing pieces mask the type and strength of your forces to the enemy while you deploy for battle.

Napoleon lost at Waterloo, but a victory was very possible and this game allows you to turn the tables on history.
