About the game

What you do in a play session

Austerlitz 1805: Rising Eagles is the second volume in the «Eagles» series, diving into the iconic Battle of Austerlitz with a strategic depth that will thrill any wargame fan. Here, you command regiments on a hex grid where each hex represents 250m, and each turn equals one hour of real combat. The game includes three short scenarios and a full battle epic, with 'fog of war' rules that leave you as clueless as the historical commanders. Initial planning is crucial — once your troops advance, retreating or changing orders won't be easy. The map, crafted by Rick Barber (topography) and Sebastien Brunel (art), is a spectacle in itself. If you love strategic planning, constant tension, and that 'what if I were in command?' feeling, Austerlitz 1805 is your game.
