THE COMING STORM QUAD Preorder
Now available for preorder from Operational Studies Group. The Coming Storm is a quadrigame of the Fourth Coalition, October 1806 - June 1807. Battles covered include: Jena-Auerstädt, Pultusk/Golymin, Eylau, and Friedland. This quad game is in the tradition of Napoleon's Last Battles and Four Lost Battles. The scale is exactly the same at 525 yards per hex and one hour turns. Units are brigades. Like Four Lost Battles, units are also hidden unless they are visible to the enemy. Vedettes are used as scouts and to confuse the enemy. Cards are also used to create the fog of war, because nobody knew his opponent's TO/E or Order of Appearance. Preorder Price: $84 (a savings of $48!). [Join Discussion | Wikipedia]
