About the Game

Includes two of Napoleon´s most famous battles, Austerlitz 1805 and Jena-Auerstädt 1806. Almost the same rules system as `Napoleon´s First Battles´, but with a few changes. Army morale is important in this system. Once your army disintegrates, all your units suffer adverse and permanent effects. Their combat strength is halved, for example.

480 die-cut counters and two 22 x 34" maps (one for each battle). The counters of the French III Corps were printed in the wrong color. They can still be used, but replacement counters are also available from Decision Games.

Emperor's First Battles has now been released by Decision games as a "Deluxe Edition" that includes the Napoleon's First Battles Quad.

The Deluxe Edition now contains 6 battles: "Montenotte", "Arcola", "The Pyramids", "Marengo", "Austerlitz" and "Jena-Auerstädt"
