TSR Napolean's Last Battles (1984)

Designer: Kevin Zucker

Year: 1984

On March 1, 1815, the exiled Napoleon returned to France. Twenty days later, the great powers of Europe once more armed for war. Outnumbered, Napoleon risked all on a calculated gamble: to strike at, and shatter, the fragile prussian-anglo Alliance that stood between him and Brussels. The battle of Waterloo would decide the fate of Europe.

Long unavailable, The Napoleon's Last Battles game is a unique recreation of the battle of Waterloo. The quadrigame format includes four independent games: QUATRE BRAS, LIGNY, WAVRY, and LA BELLE ALLIANCE. Standard game rules cover Artillery Bombardment, weather, Army Demoralization, nad Napoleon's Imperial Guard. Each game has historical commentary section, and the rules include design commentary from the original designer and developer. Additionally, the entire battle of Waterloo can be played by joining the game maps of the four games. Special campaign game rules include Leaders, and Command Control, supply, Night Game turns, and Corps Demoralization. The quadrigames last 2-3 hours each, while the full campaign game runs 6-8 hours.
