Description
"Le Beau Soleil d'Austerlitz" is a two player Grand-Tactical board-wargame depicting the Battle of Austerlitz fought in December 1805 between Napoleon and the Allied forces of Russia and Austria. Austerlitz is regarded as one of the classic Napoleonic battles and involves thousands of troops.
The battle was characterized by the early morning mist which concealed much of the dispositions and forces present.
The game system is innovative and requires players to devise a plan for the battle and accept restricted command. The battlefield is divided into areas rather than hexagons.
Units (counters) are divisions while command is command is activated at Corps level.
