Napoleon at Leipzig

Dive into the epic Battle of Leipzig of 1813 with *Napoleon at Leipzig*, a wargame that puts you in command of either Napoleonic or Allied forces. After devastating losses in Russia, Napoleon desperately tries to regain control in Germany, but his former allies, Prussia and Austria, now join Tsarist Russia to confront him. You will lead the Grande Armée, composed of loyal soldiers from various nations, in a series of decisive clashes. Although victories like Lutzen, Bautzen, and Dresden were achieved, they weren't enough to turn the tide. Minor defeats of his generals weakened his forces, and now Napoleon retreats to Leipzig, surrounded by 300,000 enemy troops. Your mission as the French player is to crush one or more enemy armies or ensure the safe retreat of your elite troops across the sole remaining bridge over the Elster River. The game offers scenarios starting on October 14th, 16th, or 18th, 1813, allowing you to explore different moments of the battle. The rules have been carefully revised to reflect the latest historical scholarship, and the entirely new map accurately recreates the terrain around Leipzig, highlighting areas ideal for cavalry. A comprehensive study folder, with historical narrative, order of battle, and setups for the three stages of the six-day battle, accompanies the game. Prepare for a deep and historically rich military simulation experience, where every decision can change the fate of the Napoleonic Empire.
