Read the full game description
La Bataille de Dresde is a large tactical Napoleonic wargame covering the battle fought around Dresden in August 1813. More than a thousand counters represent infantry battalions, cavalry squadrons, artillery batteries, commanders, and formations across four period-style maps. Six scenarios range from focused actions to the full battle. Detailed rules for command, formation, fire, assault, morale, weather, and line of sight reward careful staff work and coordinated attacks, with teams of up to eight players dividing the armies.
