Napoleon's Eagles

The detail in this game is not only enjoyable it’s quite educational. If you liked Carrier Battles the you’ll definitely enjoy Napoleon’s Eagles. The strategic planning of troop movements and their actions is challenging and quite rewarding as you learn the limitations and strengths of each troop. As you go along planning and executing your strategic maneuvers you’ll suddenly find you’ve leaned something about the history of Napoleon! Deep strategy with a dose of education, the combination keeps me coming back to this great game!

The game is a pretty faithful recreation of the Avalon Hill game War & Peace.

Although a hex gamer from way back, I’m not familiar with the original board game, so I can’t comment on it being a successful port or not. That being said, I like this game. Very deep strategic and operational decisions await you as you play, and I think it gives a nice feel for combat in the era. The learning curve is not to steep, and once learned the game flows nicely. The naval and diplomatic rules flesh the game out, and the grand campaign will put you right in the polished boots of the outlaw general. My only real complaint is that I feel the manual could be better written. Still gets 5 stars. P.S. Carrier Battles is one of favorites also. Keep up the good work!
