Join Napoleon's armies as they march into Swabia (present day Baden-Württemberg) to encircle the army of General Mack.
Continue on down the valley of the Danube as you pursue General Kutusov and his Russian troops as they attempt to evade your mighty army.
Capture Vienna and press on to meet up with destiny on the fields of Austerlitz, 2 December 1805, where Napoleon won his greatest victory.
HPS Austerlitz continues the fine tradition of excellence found in all of the titles in HPS’s Napoleonic Campaign series.
Over fifty scenarios are specifically designed to give the wargamers a tough battle.
In development for over three years by John Tiller's team, there is a depth of design not found in any other game on this topic.
Campaigns include Ulm, Danube, Moravia, Italy, Austerlitz, and even a hypothetical invasion of England (let's not forget that the Imperial Guard was stationed at Boulogne sur Mer)
A campaign allows the players to play each of the historical scenarios.
From Wertingen to each portion of the battle of Austerlitz, the historical wargamer will be in his element as he attempts to defeat his enemies on the same fields that saw the French rise to dominance in Europe.
Ride with Murat as he advances boldly against Kutusov at Schöngrabern or join up with Davout as he marches to destiny at Austerlitz.
Included are over 60 maps allowing the players to fight over the famous battlefields of 1805 as well as many in England.
A Scenario Editor is included to alter existing scenarios and create new ones.
HPS Austerlitz contains many new features, such as:
- Dragoon cavalry which may dismount during battles and fire while mounted
- Weather line feature which allows damp weather to affect all fire
- Indirect fire ability for howitzers and licornes
- Abbatis terrain type
- Trench terrain type
- Command ranges for corps, wing and army commanders
