Napoleonic Wargame Club (NWC)

I thought this block style boardgame looked interesting. Love the lookk and feel of the West Point atlas...

Nice, as is the Frederick the Great game they have.

(from the description): "Thus was won the battle of which Napoleon was always the most proud – Marengo."

Er, no. It was Austerlitz.

You are never proud of a battle where you almost got your clock cleaned.

Austerlitz will always be the best victory by Napoleon.

Jena was against a smaller army.

Friedland was probably the next battle to Austerlitz as far as victories go.

Block games are interesting. New some guys that played the Columbia Games series of games. Now GMT is getting into the act with their Europe Engulfed and they are putting out a Pacific theater game too.
