War and Peace

Ten separate two-player scenarios recreate the Napoleonic wars across Europe from 1805 to 1815, each covering a distinct campaign or battle and playing in about 2–3 hours on average. Players command the major powers—France, Britain, Austria, Prussia, Russia, and Spain—maneuvering armies, conducting battles, and managing logistics across historical maps. Optional rules and linked scenarios allow extended campaign play, including naval and diplomatic systems for the grand campaign, plus additional scenarios covering earlier Italian and Egyptian campaigns. Multiple editions and official variants collect errata and supplementary rules; the game supports both standalone scenarios and linked campaign play for extended strategic continuity.
