Vive L'Empereur

Test your mettle at Waterloo!

As Emperor Napoleon, you control the French camp and have so far waged a brilliant campaign against not one, but two Allied armies, defeating Marshal Blücher's Prussians at Ligny and forcing the Duke of Wellington's Anglo-Allied army to retreat from Quatre Bras.

You have sent a wing of your army under Marshal Grouchy to separate the Prussians from the British-Dutch armies. Meanwhile, Wellington and his Dutch allies, with 68,000 men, have retreated to a ridge in front of the small town of Waterloo. On this rainy, muddy day, your 72,000-strong French army must defeat the Anglo-Allied army before the Prussians can regroup, avoid Grouchy and arrive on the Waterloo battlefield. Are you up to the challenge?

Vive l'Empereur is a hex-based wargame that uses a system of random draw to generate random force activations for both sides. Anglo-Allied and Prussian forces (the forces of the lone camp) move and fight according to the random instructions on the game's activation table.
