Yesterday we received the physical sample of the game Napoleon 1806. As you can see on the photos the box is really beautiful! We have planned to check everything in detail tomorrow to track any defects to be corrected before mass production starts.
As a reminder, the game will allow two players to replay the campaign Napoleon conducted in Prussia in 1806. It offers 3 levels of progressive difficulty to facilitate access even to the youngest. 3 scenarios are included, a short-run scenario playing in less than one hour, the historical campaign scenario running around 1h30, and a hidden set-up scenario.
The game mechanics focus on the simulation of the operation and management of the fatigue of the troops. The fog of war is very present since the wooden blocks representing the army corps are placed hidden to your opponent. An option allows to play by revealing blocks (for beginners), another allows to add "vedettes" to add uncertainty (for "Grognards"). The list of components is:
- 1 game Board (60 cm x 60 cm) - 2 mm thick
- 2 player aids A4 (orders of battle) - 2 mm thick
- 2 screens for hidden game
- 1 28-page rules and history booklet
- 2 games of 36 cards
- more than 200 wooden pieces
- 13 blocks of wood for Prussian corps
- 14 blocks of wood for French corps
- 1 Sticker Board (Army Corps)
- 10 special dice, usable for battle
- 1 pouch bag
- 1 plastic tray
