Three Days of Glory 1805

About this board game

Three Days of Glory 1805 is a two-player battle game with an approximately 500-minute play time, combining three engagements from the German and Austrian campaigns of 1805.

This revised and redesigned edition brings together scenarios for Elchingen, fought on 14 October 1805; Hollabrunn, fought on 16 November 1805; and Austerlitz, fought on 2 December 1805. Each battle offers a distinct historical setting within the same game series.

The game represents forces at the regiment or battalion scale. Units use strength points, with each point representing 200 infantry, 150 cavalry, or 2 or 4 cannons. This provides a defined framework for portraying the forces involved in these three engagements.

Three Days of Glory 1805 includes a substantial collection of maps, counters, scenario material, and player aids:

• Two maps measuring 59 x 41.6 cm and one map measuring 83 x 59 cm
• 648 die-cut counters and markers
• Ten scenarios presented in two booklets
• Two deployment tables and one player aid
• Two rulebooks and two scenario booklets in French and English

With three battles gathered in one box, the game presents a focused 1805 collection for players interested in revisiting Elchingen, Hollabrunn, and Austerlitz. Its extensive component set supports the scenarios while the revised presentation updates these previously published battles from the Jours de Gloire series.
