Everything is new in this edition.

Rules

Since the first edition of Napoleon at Bay, the rules to the Campaigns of Napoleon series have evolved through five separate campaign games: Bonaparte in Italy, Struggle of Nations, 1809, The Emperor Returns, and 1807: The Eagles Turn East. Now the results of years of developments are returned to the original. Rules on Pitched Battle allow for multiple attacks and counterattacks in a single turn. "Dummies" have become smart "Vedettes," which can perform cavalry's true scouting and screening functions. The completely revised text contains hundreds of improvements large and small.

With all these, and the optional rules on Rear Guards, Reserves, and Attack Effectiveness (which grew out of the discussion in Wargame Design magazine), it's a more comprehensive game design.

Components

The 360 die-cut counters were designed with color and clarity by Rodger MacGowan. The rolling farmland on two huge maps was superbly rendered by Joe Youst. The bookcase-type box is graced by J. -L. -E. Meissonier's painting of Napoleon, which appeared in recent advertisements. All components are handsomely printed by Monarch Avalon. Note: this is a complete game in one box.
