Napoleon is a strategic-level board wargame covering the Waterloo Campaign of the Hundred Days after Napoleon's return from Elba starting with the French invasion of Belgium on June 15, 1815. Each turn is one-third of a day (with only one player moving per turn, so the French move first on the first day, and move that night, then the Allied forces move first the second day and that night, and so on).
It was one of the early block wargames published by Gamma Two Games in 1974. It was later published by Avalon Hill before going to the creator's new company Columbia Games which currently publishes the third edition.
Famous quotes containing the word napoleon:
“Who are we? And for what are we going to fight? Are we the titled slaves of George the Third? The military conscripts of Napoleon the Great? Or the frozen peasants of the Russian Czar? No—we are the free born sons of America; the citizens of the only republic now existing in the world; and the only people on earth who possess rights, liberties, and property which they dare call their own.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
