This Sunday, join me and friend of the show Pierre Vagneur-Jones for a Teach & Play of Eylau 1807, the first volume in the Battles of Napoleon series. Set amidst the brutal winter conditions of one of the bloodiest and most grueling battles of the Napoleonic Wars, this game captures the tactical intricacies of infantry, cavalry, and artillery maneuvering under fierce conditions and mounting fatigue.
We’ll explore this system’s innovative chit-based command mechanics, hidden unit strengths, and its emphasis on formation coordination and timing over rules-heavy complexity. As the French and Russian forces clash in the snow, the stakes are high—not only in firepower and positioning, but in managing orders, morale, and the pace of battle.
Expect cavalry charges, snowstorms, Cossack raids, and the thunder of the Imperial Guard. Whether you're a Napoleonic history buff or curious about this new system, come experience Eylau 1807 in action!
