## Description
Triomphe à Marengo plunges you headfirst into the drama of the Battle of Marengo, on June 14, 1800, in northern Italy. Get ready to relive the day when the Austrian army, confident after a morning victory against Bonaparte's troops, saw the tide completely turn with the arrival of General Desaix's reinforcements. What seemed like a French defeat transformed into a glorious triumph, and you'll have the chance to rewrite or replicate that history!

In this fast-paced and straightforward wargame, one player takes on the role of Napoleon, with his troops initially scattered, while the other commands the Austrians, seeking victory before the French can reorganize. The game breaks away from traditional wargame conventions, bringing the aesthetic of 19th-century linear warfare to the table, with a very distinct look.

Triomphe à Marengo is an evolution of the award-winning Bonaparte at Marengo, enhancing the experience in several aspects. The map has been redesigned to offer ample spaces, encouraging intelligent and strategic maneuvers. The combat system has been modified to be more dramatic, and an innovative locale-based morale system adds an extra layer of tension and excitement. And the best part? Battles are resolved without dice, meaning luck is out of the equation and victory depends purely on your tactical skill and battlefield decisions. It's pure strategy and adrenaline for two players!
