1805: Sea of Glory is a naval wargame of the Napoleonic Wars, focused on the struggle between Britain and the combined fleets of France and Spain.

Players command far-ranging fleets across the Atlantic, Mediterranean, Channel approaches, and West Indies, balancing blockade duty, port raids, pursuit, and fleet concentration. Fog of war plays a major role: enemy forces are hidden until contact is made, so every movement can be a feint, a chase, or the beginning of a decisive battle.

Wind, weather, distance, and uncertainty all shape the campaign. The British must protect key waters and prevent invasion, while the French and Spanish fleets seek opportunities to break out, unite, and threaten Britain’s control of the sea.

This is a strong choice for players interested in Age of Sail operations, naval strategy, and the cat-and-mouse tension of fleets hunting each other across open water.

Contents include: map, countersheets, rulebook, fleet and port displays, wooden blocks, reference cards, dice, and sticker sheet.
