May 28, 1999 - Out of the Wrapper LUETZEN Latest Entry in LA BATAILLE Game Series |
In May of 1813 Napoleon began the campaign for Germany with a bang...as was his custom. The Prussian and Russian armies attempt to ambush the French Armée du Main strung out in road march. Their approach goes undetected and they are able to close within two miles. In fact, not until the moment of their assault do the French become aware of them. But, instead of the expected weak flank guard they are met by the strong divisions of Souham and Girard and by mid-afternoon, Napoleon and 100,000 French and their allies have swarmed to their support. The battle raged in ever-mounting fury until night finally brought an end to the slaughter. The first major battle of the 1813 campaign ends with thousands of dead and wounded and with the Russian and Prussian armies in full retreat.
ABOUT THE GAME
LA BATAILLE DE LUETZEN simulates the first major clash of Napoleon's 1813 campaign, 2 May 1813. Lacking adequate cavalry and handicapped by a large number of raw recruits, the French player must rapidly consolidate his scattered forces to counter the sudden Allied attack. As the player commanding the Allied forces, you must deal the French a decisive blow before Napoleon can react and bring reinforcements to bear.
LUETZEN is ideal for multiple players or as a solitaire study. Each turn represents 20 minutes of real time and each hex equals 100 meters. The rules are the LUETZEN version of the award-winning system developed by the Marshal Enterprises Household and cover the full range of features characteristic of the Napoleonic battlefield. Players are faced with the same tactical dilemmas their historical counterparts faced, though play balance depends entirely upon their own skill. ... Are you ready to accept the challenge of a Marshal's baton?
