GAME:

Napoleon and the Archduke Charles (by K.Poulter)

Part of 3W's 'Bonaparte' series of games, this game is a two-player simulation of the Battle of Aspern-Essling, May 21, 1809... one player commands the French, the other player commands the Austrians.

Victory Points are awarded each player for the elimination of troop strength, elimination of leaders, and control of Aspern or Essling. (Exception: The Austrian player wins immediately if Napoleon is a casualty.) The difference in points between the players determines the level of victory.
