Description

During the Napoleonic wars, the Kingdoms of Denmark-Norway and Sweden found themselves on opposite sides, and fought several skirmishes in the border areas between the countries. In 1808, Sweden invaded Norway with the aim of capturing what was then a province in Denmark. In 1814, Sweden invaded again, this time encouraged by the Treaty of Kiel, which had given them control of Norway on account of Denmark being on the losing side of the war. Norway, in the meantime, had declared independence and written their own constitution. The result of the ensuing battles were a stalemate, but Norway, exhausted by warfare and starvation, had to accept a personal union with the King of Sweden as the Head of State.

The game is a low-complexity wargame, with units representing companies of infantry, batteries of artillery and squadrons of dragoons and cavalry. The game map covers the border area between Norway and Sweden from Halden to Trondheim. The Swedish objective is to break the Norwegian lines and capture Christiania (Oslo) and Trondheim, the Norwegian objective is to prevent the Swedes from winning.
