The first set, The Eagle and The Lion, will introduce the French and the British troops, with hundreds of miniatures and an innovative game system
Nexus is working on a new game series, dedicated to the Napoleonic age. The first title, due to be released in Summer 2008, is Battles of Napoleon: The Eagle and The Lion, a massive board game with hundreds of detailed plastic 1/72 scale figures (Infantry, Light and Heavy Cavalry, Artillery and Commanders), modular terrain boards, cards and dice. All these components will match with an innovative game system, efficient and easy-to-learn mechanics and historical accuracy. The Eagle and the Lion includes French and British troops. Future sets in the series will introduce new armies, units, scenarios and additional game boards.

Created by Sergio Guerri and Ugo Di Meglio, Battles of Napoleon is a game system that merges principles and mechanics from board and miniature games and allows constant player’s interaction. The original and realistic command system makes it possible to simulate that not always the subordinates do exactly what their commanders want from them. An innovative basing system makes it possible to simulate quickly the basic combat formations, easily replacing the losses and allowing fast movement over the game board – the game will include special bases where the miniatures will be inserted to create units and formations and removed to keep track of the losses.
Like Wings of War, the award-winning Nexus’ game series dedicated to the aerial combats in the XX century, Battles of Napoleon will publish additional game sets - each of them will be a complete game for 2 players, that can be also combined with other game sets to play larger battles.
The first set, The Eagle and The Lion, will feature the French and British troops, with miniatures featuring famous units like the Scots Grey and the Green Jackets (the British Rifles).
