N: The Napoleonic Wars

A solitaire grand-strategy simulation of the Napoleonic Wars in which the player controls the monarchist Coalitions led by Britain while an AI controls Napoleonic France. Each turn represents roughly two years; the player allocates armies, naval forces, cash, and diplomatic assets to pursue military defeats in Europe and to conduct semi-random overseas campaigns (Ireland, Egypt, the Balkans, Senegal, and the War of 1812). Play emphasizes coalition management, budgeting for subsidies and naval engagements, and reacting to random events and AI actions as the player attempts to force Napoleon to abdicate before the endgame turn.
