#350 w/Reves de Gloire

Reves de Gloire is a solitaire, strategic-level wargame of the Napoleonic Wars between 1805-14. The player takes the role of Napoleon Bonaparte, the newly self-crowned Emperor of France, determining French foreign and military policy, establishing Bonapartist dynasties in satellite states, and raising and leading French and allied armies and fleets in an era of ever-shifting alliances. The game system controls the opposing Coalition forces led by Great Britain. The objective of the Empire is to conquer or control either Great Britain, or as much of Europe as possible, without upsetting the balance of Power, and thus triggering radical revolution or conservative reaction.
Each game turn represents one year. Sizes of the regions vary but are generally at least 100 miles across. Unit sizes are army level (10,000+) with individually named leaders.

22 X 34-inch map, 228 9/16-inch counters.
