Prelude to Leipzig

Game Design: John TheissenMap Art: Amabel HollandHex Number: 87Duration: 100 minutesPlayers: 2Solitaire Suitability: HighTheme: NapoleonicMSRP: $60.00 Prelude to Leipzig is a prequel to John Theissen's Campaign of Nations. That game tackled the autumn 1813 campaign that culminated in the climactic Battle of Nations, covering those events with his clean, streamlined approach to operational hex-and-counter gaming. In this game, he turns his attention to the spring campaign. Historically, Napoleon failed to achieve the decisive victory he was looking for, resulting in a summer truce - giving his enemies precious time to plan and prepare for the battle that would signal the end of his rule.
