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 & counterattacks in a single turn. "Dummies" have become smart "Vedettes" which can perform cavalry's true scouting & screening functions. Completely revised text contains hundreds of improvements large & small. Optional rules on Rear Guards, Reserves, and Attack Effectiveness grew out of the discussion in Wargame Design Magazine. These new elements make this well-loved game a good bit more comprehensive.
