Napoleon’s Eagles: Storm in the East

Napoleon’s Eagles: Storm in the East is a fully card-based Napoleonic wargame covering the dramatic campaigns of 1812 and 1813.

Players command infantry and cavalry corps, artillery formations, and army leaders in battles such as Borodino and Leipzig, with smaller engagements and linked campaign options also included. With no map, counters, or dice, the system uses unit cards, terrain cards, and custom playing cards to create fast, tense battles that can be played in an evening.

The game emphasizes reserves, morale, cavalry charges, artillery bombardment, key terrain, and the timing of commitment. Victory depends on breaking the enemy army before your own formations lose cohesion, making each battle a contest of pressure, patience, and nerve.

This is a strong fit for players who want Napoleonic drama in a compact format, especially those who enjoy card-driven battlefield systems with quick setup and sharp decisions.

Contents include: 225 poker-sized cards, including 89 unit cards, 32 terrain and info cards, and 104 playing cards, plus two player aid cards, three scenario setup cards, one rules and scenario book, and a box with lid.
