Winter's Victory: The Battle of Preussisch-Eylau, 7-8 February 1807

A grand tactical, battalion-level simulation of the Battle of Preussisch-Eylau in West Prussia, fought on February 7th–8th, 1807, between Napoleon’s Grande Armée and the Imperial Russian army. The full campaign covers both days of the battle, with additional scenarios focusing on the approach to Eylau, the fighting on the high ground, Davout’s attack on the Russian left flank, and the Prussian counterattack. Infantry battalions, cavalry regiments, artillery batteries, and individual command units maneuver across a hex map in 15-minute turns. Formation changes, skirmish deployment, alternating fire, cavalry charges, and an asymmetric sequence of play reflect Napoleonic battlefield tactics.
