Grand Battles Napoleon is a strategic wargame where you as the General are responsible for a Napoleonic corps.

The Napoleonic wars began in the ashes of revolution, regicide and the new French Republic and ended with the exile of an Emperor.

Armies of Coalition Using this full colour, 72 page, Parade Handbook for the Coalition Armies of Russia, Prussia and Austria, you can also play a part in this epic tale. Re-fight the famous battles during the wars of Empire to Liberation, 1808-1815. These lists allow you to pretty much build any coalition corps that fought between 1808 and 1815. Klenau’s 4th Corps, 1809, Raevsky’s 7th Corps 1812 or York’s Prussian 1st Corps 1813 are all easily built using our flexible divisional and attachment options. Apart from the usual National Traits, Allies, Battle, Support and Reserve choices, we have also added in some famous national heroes into the Headquarters options, like Archduke Charles, Blucher, Bagration, Platov and Kutuzov!
