JENA!

This historical wargame recreates Napoleon’s 1806 campaign against Prussia and its allies, from the opening engagement at Saalfeld through the victories at Jena and Auerstädt. Five scenarios cover individual battles and a campaign in which French and Prussian armies maneuver with limited information, use cavalry probes, and race to respond as their opposing lines of advance are revealed. The game uses a concise rule set and variable map layouts, with scenarios played on one, two, or three maps. Players command formations, manage movement and engagements, and seek to exploit the French army’s flexible battlefield organization.
