Game summary
This scenario covers the longest and bloodiest war in Europe during the 19th century. During this time, we saw the end of Napoleon III’s Imperial France and the advent of the Second Reich under the watch of Otto von Bismarck. Prussia and her allies must crush the armies of France, invade the country and capture Paris before the end of 1871 with just your armies and excellent leadership. France has quality troops and abysmal command but can soon rely on Republican spirit to turn the tide. Nothing is decided from start, it’s all yours to re-live!
