Napoleon at Leipzig (Fifth Edition)

This historical wargame covers the 1813 Battle of Leipzig, where Napoleon’s multinational army faced the combined forces of Russia, Prussia, Austria, and Sweden. It also includes the engagements at Liebertwolkwitz and Wachau-Möckern, along with the later Battle of Hanau during the French retreat. Players command brigades across detailed maps using rules for troop quality, initiative, command, cavalry vedettes, baggage and pontoon trains, hidden forces, bridge destruction and repair, and changing combat situations. The system uses a scale of 480 meters per hex, one hour per game turn, and approximately 500–800 men per strength point.
