Description

THE HABIT OF VICTORY: From Warsaw and Eylau to Friedland: 6 December 1806 - 29 June 1807

  • Campaigns of Napoleon System, Series 2X. Game Mechanics are the same as Napoleon at the Crossroads, with the addition of the cards.
  • Card Assisted Game (CAG) plays with far fewer dice rolls, and quicker overall.
  • Each card represents a Movement Command specifying attrition, administration, etc., and allows for one-time events such as: political, military, officer feuds, and guerrilla war. Because they define Movement more closely, the cards make attrition a matter of a quick read-off at a glance.
  • Three short introductory scenarios simulate the battles of Pultusk/Golymin, Eylau, and Friedland.
  • Three full-sized campaign scenarios depict the three phases of the war-the Crossing of the Bug and Battles of Pultusk and Golymin, the campaign and battle of Eylau in February, and the final miscalculation by Bennigsen at Friedland.
  • A massive Grand Scenario of up to 69 turns.
  • During major battles entire armies can be concentrated under just a few leaders. At other times units can be dispersed independently along with Cavalry Vedettes which help confuse the enemy.
