The Eagles of the Danube

March 1809, for months Austria has been arming itself to take its revenge on Austerlitz. The major foreign powers have refused to follow and so Austria must go to war alone. The time is propitious because the Great Army is at the other end of Europe, in Spain, facing a combattive people, and Austria hopes that the German peoples will rise up against France as well. On March 30, its armies, led by the Archduke Charles, invade Bavaria with no declaration of war in hopes of surprising the French army dispersed in Germany before their reinforcements can arrive. Will it be able to hold out until the arrival of the Emperor or will the Archduke push it back north of the Danube in disorder?Complexity : 5/10

 Duration : 1 hour

One unit : 1 division

1 strength step : approximately 2 500 men

Modules : 1 tactical module

1 game turn : 2 days

VaeVictis Magazines have very nice, small Wargames inside (good BGG ratings) with very good looking counters (see product picts). One thing, that could be, is that the gaming map has some little crinkles, because they use the map as an envelope for the game. 

We printed the English Rules for You (in Colour) and send them together with the Magazine!
