Napoléon 1806

A two-player Napoleonic campaign game replaying the 1806 Prussian–French clashes around Jena and Auerstedt. Play covers seven turns (two days each) during which players alternate operations with their corps, managing movement, combat and accumulated fatigue until one army breaks. Actions are driven by a card-driven system: cards enable maneuvers and fights while introducing an element of luck that rewards strategic planning. Players choose approach routes, concentrate forces for decisive battles, and balance marching and fighting to limit fatigue. Optional rule sets add progressive complexity from an introductory mode to fog of war and competitive play.
