Overview
Napoleon in Germany, 1813 Game number 9 in the Napoleonic 20 series (#1 in sub-series Germany 20) After his disastrous defeat in Russia in 1812, followed by a halting campaign in early 1813, an armistice with the Allied Coalition is about to end. But Napoleon has been busy using this time of truce to build up his logistical base at the city of Dresden. When war resumes in August, the focal point of maneuvers centers on this French central position. Dresden 20 presents a Deluxe Edition treatment the Napoleonic 20 Series, and launches a new sub-series of "Germany 20" 1813 games (all of which will ultimately link into a campaign of connected battles with the results from one affecting the next in the series). Dresden 20 includes a bit more of everything than other games in this series (map size, counters and exclusive rules), thus allowing players to gain a deeper insight into the campaign around Dresden during those fateful days. Important decisions weighing up all of the principles of war must be made to win this campaign! Can you maintain French dominance with a coalition-ending smashing victory? Or as the Allies end Napoleon’s ambitions in central Europe by storming your way across the map?
