Bonaparte in the Quadrilateral

  WINNER OF THE 2022 CHARLES S. ROBERTS AWARD FOR Best Napoleonic Board Wargame The Po Valley Campaign from May, 1796. WAR OF THE 1ST COALITION, PART IIMay 1796: Bonaparte arrived at Piacenza with 35,168 men of the Army of Italy, crossing to the north bank of the Po and heading for Lodi, shouldering aside Austrian flank guards. Lodi was abandoned by the Austrians only after Beaulieu’s 26,697-man army escaped from harms way and was sprinting for Cremona. In a highly-idealized propaganda moment (see cover), Bonaparte took his sword in one hand and the grenadiers’ flag in the other, attempting to lead them against the Austrian guns dominating the bridge and causeway. “A near run thing.”   UNIVERSAL CARD DECK NOT INCLUDED This game uses the Universal Card Deck included in Napoleon's Wheel.
