The battle of Austerlitz. On 2 December 1805, the Emperor Napoleon had lured the Allied Army under Czar Alexander into attacking him in one of the most famous traps in military history. The Allied army attacked but was split in two by a French counter-attack & disastrously defeated, giving Napoleon one of the greatest victories in the history of war – Austerlitz. Napoleons Triumph is a game without any luck. It is built on the same foundations as its acclaimed predecessor, Bonaparte at Marengo, but introduces some new mechanics & is bigger & grander in scale. It uses two boards to make a double-size 44 x 34 map of the Austerlitz battlefield. It comes with 140 wooden units & 18 metal corps commanders. It is played without dice. If players have internalised the rules, it can be played from start to finish in about 2 to 3 hours. The cover art is Jean-Louis-Ernest Meissoniers oil painting The Cuirassiers of 1805. This particular painting is of th 12th French cuirassier.. .
