As noted in the contact information below, OSG runs a full-service game company website at www.charm.net/~kzucker/osg/. There you will find game profiles, color images of game boxes and components, ordering information, info on the Napoleonic tour to Poland, OSG news, replays of 1806 and La Guerre de l'Empereur, and various interesting stuff. The last-mentioned includes, in true OSG style, a detailed historical article related to 1806 on the movements of Brunswick's troops leading up to Jena-Auestadt.

For even more historical background, design rationale, and information to enhance your experience with these games, consider Wargame Design, OSG's house magazine. The content is solid, and the graphic art & design are very sharp.

Currently Available Games

The OSG website provides plenty of coverage of OSG's latest, La Guerre de l'Empereur. This strategic game covers the era, from 1805 to 1815, for two to seven players. The area-movement map includes the whole stage for the Napoleonic drama, and the game system encompasses land and naval warfare, diplomacy, and economics. In the multi-player game, it looks like you can expect to make and break lots of deals.

Also available from OSG: 1806, an operational look at the Jena-Auerstadt campaign using the system Kevin introduced in Six Days of Glory from CoA. Game scale is brigade and division-sized units, 1.1-mile hexes, and four game turns per day. The cavalry and command rules highlight the game's move-fight system. For more information, see my brief profile of 1806 in Operations 30 or go to the OSG website.

And don't overlook Napoleon at Bay, the new edition of the classic OSG game from 1979. NAB now includes state-of-the-art graphics and thoroughly updated rules. If you're not familiar with this system's elegantly integrated command and attrition rules, I don't know where you've been for twenty years
