Description
Empire in Arms is a game covering the major elements of diplomacy and warfare during the Napoleonic Wars of 1805–1815. The players are the absolute monarchs of major European powers (Austria, France, Great Britain, Prussia, Russia, Spain, or Turkey) and guide that nation through the maze of conflicting interests and ambitions that characterized Napoleonic Europe. Each major power has its own individual economic, military and geographic advantages and disadvantages. Players negotiate alliances, dictate peace treaties, administer conquests, and conduct warfare on land and sea by maneuvering corps and fleets in the constant struggle for survival and prestige.
