Battles of Napoleonic Europe: A Solitaire Wargame

A solitaire hex-and-counter wargame set in the Peninsular War, pitting British, Portuguese, Spanish and German formations against French forces across Iberian battlefields. Players command brigade- and division-level units represented by counters, resolve combat with standard six-sided dice, and pursue scenario Objectives while the opposing side is governed by an AI/gamebook system. Battles are designed for relatively short playtimes (roughly 30–50 minutes) and use randomized initial setups for replayability. The boxed content includes rules, full-colour battle maps, and a counter sheet.
