Empires at War
This four-battle wargame covers major 19th-century clashes at Inkerman, Solferino, Königgrätz, and Gravelotte–St. Privat. Players maneuver forces across historical battle maps and resolve combat using NATO-style counters. A Basic Game introduces the system, while the Advanced Game adds command control, morale, fog of war, light infantry, varied weapon types, and mitrailleuse. The scenarios represent the differing tactical situations and battlefield conditions of each engagement.
