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:
“Napoleon wanted to turn Paris into Rome under the Caesars, only with louder music and more marble. And it was done. His architects gave him the Arc de Triomphe and the Madeleine. His nephew Napoleon III wanted to turn Paris into Rome with Versailles piled on top, and it was done. His architects gave him the Paris Opera, an addition to the Louvre, and miles of new boulevards.”
—Tom Wolfe (b. 1931)
