About the Game

Vae Victis issue 23. This game is the second in the "Jours de Gloire" battle series, and covers Napoleon's great (but ultimately hollow) victory in Egypt over the Mamelukes at the Pyramids. Various "non-historical" scenarios give the battle some better balance between the Mamelukes and the French. As one of the smallest battles in the Jours de Gloire series, this game provides a good introduction to the system.

Four corrected counters for Rivoli, from issue 18, are also provided.

As with all Vae Victis games, the counters need to be cut out and mounted. The rules are entirely in French, although translations are available online.

SYSTEM: Jours de Gloire Series (JDG) - scale = 297 m/hex; - time = 75 min/GT; - strength = 200 men/SP.
