Battles of Napoleonic Europe: A Solitaire Wargame

About this board game

Battles of Napoleonic Europe: A Solitaire Wargame is a solitaire hex-and-counter wargame for one player, with each battle designed to take around 30 to 50 minutes. Set during the Peninsular War, it features British, Portuguese, Spanish, and German forces battling Napoleon’s French army.

You command various units, often representing many hundreds of men each, while working to achieve the objectives presented by the battle. The opposing force is controlled by the game book, acting as the game’s artificial intelligence, so no second player is required.

Designed to be clear, accessible, and quick to learn, the game lets you get into the action without the lengthy learning time associated with more complex wargames. Randomized initial forces give each battle plenty of replayability, creating varied situations from one playthrough to the next.
