+ | two different games merged into one: | ||
+ | |||
+ | **First** there is a high level political game, involving heads of state and diplomats. | ||
+ | Players in this part of the game will find themselves using their diplomatic and | ||
+ | negotiating skills at the forefront, attempting to get the best political position | ||
+ | for your country, both in the current situation and for the future. | ||
+ | There may be peace ahead - but what shape will it take? | ||
+ | And Napoleon? | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Secondly**, | ||
+ | of armies by generals and their staffs. | ||
+ | The game for these players will be about manoever and the operational art - | ||
+ | conducted on maps and covering many weeks of operations. | ||
+ | Finding the enemy, divining his intentions and deploying to counter them is | ||
+ | the key to successful gameplay as military team. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The issues of coalition warfare are to the forefront of the Allies' | ||
+ | the French, on the other hand have to struggle for survival against a numerically | ||
+ | superior Allied army. | ||

+ | military campaigning system which we think players will find innovative and | ||
