Napoleonic Era

The 1989 edition of Clash of Eagles was play tested with an initial plan of using two divisions of Austrians and 2-divisions of French with 1809 as the time frame. One problem was that two divisions of Austrians couldn't be fitted on the table so it was changed to one division with reserves. The test went fairly smoothly with Dave Bennett and Richard Wheet commanding the Austrians and Mike Gesser and Lee Fischer controlling the French. Jim Dunnam served as the GM and the "find the chart" expert. The following week we received a copy of Old Trousers II that is an updated version of Clash of Eagles. The new version seems to be more streamlined with less complicated charts and better flow. We will try the newer version later this month.
