Campaign Study

BATTLEFIELD DOMINATION

By Scott Bowden
While the Allies of the Third Coalition against France wanted Italy to be the main theater of war, Napoleon would dictate the pace and place of battle in 1805. The Emperor moved the new Grande Armee, in training since 1803, against the Austrians in the Ulm campaign before the Russians could intervene. In an exclusive excerpt from his upcoming book Napoleon and Austerlitz, the first in the "The Glory Years" series, Bowden presents the Battle of Haslach-Jungingen, where 23,000 Austrians attacked 5,000 French. Includes illustrations, maps, and order of battle.

ONE EXCESS FOLLOWS ANOTHER

By Dr. Melanie Byrd
Women's fashion after the Reign of terror is examined in the second installment of a three-part illustrated series.

Text and illustrations by Dr. Melanie Byrd. Color illustrations by Holly Hess.

This 1807 battle won Europe for the Emperor. It is suprising that only two US board games have been done on this critical engagement. Game by Games USA.
