Description

La Bataille de Paris 1814 (The Battle of Paris 1814) is a wargame on the last phase of the campaign in France in 1814. The coalition forces (Russian-Austrian-Prussian) must quickly seize the capital weakly defended to end the rule of Napoleon who stayed too long behind.

The game features two scenarios: the first scenario corresponds to the historical situation that saw low numbers of troops under Marmont and Mortier standing for honor, facing an enemy five times bigger and inflicting the highest losses of the campaign. The second scenario is hypothetical but historically plausible. If Napoleon had from March 2nd decided to follow the Allies to Paris and defeat them rather than trying to harass their supply lines.
