Description

Age of Eagles (1st Edition) is Napoleonic Fire & Fury, the miniature rules you and many others have been waiting for. As the only officially authorized Napoleonic variant of the classic American Civil War rules set by Richard Hasenauer, huge battles are now possible in a system that achieves near perfect balance between historical accuracy and elegant simplicity.

Units are infantry and cavalry brigades, as well as artillery batteries of between 6 and 12 guns. Each infantry stand represents 360 foot soldiers while each cavalry stand represents 180 mounted troopers. While each miniature figure counts as an average of 90 historical combatants. Ground scale is 120 yards to each inch, while all game turns represent 30 minutes of actual time.

This is a “Big Battle” game where you will command multiple divisions, not battalions. Everything is included to make battles of over 150,000 combatants a playable reality. Unit data charts, Irregular units such as colorful Cossacks or steady Prussian Landwehr, lancers, armored Cuirassiers and more, are all presented in a clear and well organized format designed to appeal to Grognard and conscript alike.
