Sedan 1870

Mac Mahon’s Army of Châlons races to cross the Meuse and relieve Bazaine’s forces besieged in Metz, while Moltke seeks to intercept and destroy the French army before it reaches its objective. This historical wargame represents each day as a turn and each counter as a division, with movement across a map divided into zones 10 kilometers apart. It can be combined with La guerre de 1870 to play the full campaign through the decisive battle of Sedan.
