With only modest complexity and a focused scope employing low unit density on the map (20 pieces or less) and dramatic, fast playing turns, it is the addition of ‘story-driven’ random event cards and night game turns providing the operational pauses and “friction of war” that give players a great feel for the parry-and-thrust of a Napoleonic campaign as the armies close for battle.   Following France’s glorious victory against the combined Austro-Russian armies at Austerlitz the previous December, the Prussians have finally come off the fence and declared war against Napoleon. As both sides maneuver, uncertain of the location or center of gravity of the opposing army, they meet in a dramatic double battle on the fields of both Jena and Auerstadt.   Can the heirs of Frederick the Great maintain their composure and cohesion long enough to teach the haughty French a lesson, or will Napoleon and his Marshals ride on to ever greater glory?   Game Scale:   Number of Players: 2 Ages: 12 and up Playing Time: approximately 50 minutes Complexity: 4 on a 9 scale Solitaire Suitability: 6 on a 9 scale Scale: Each unit is 1 corps, each hex is about 1000 meters, and each turn is roughly 3.5 day hours (or 10 night hours).   Game Components:   Rules booklet with Standard, Optional & Exclusive rules Full color, die-cut counters by John Cooper 12 Random Event cards (self cut-out format) One 11” x 17” full-color game map by Mark Simonitch One 8.5” x 11” full-color Player Aid sheet
