Gmt Games Congress Of Vienna

Congress of Vienna is a diplomatic strategy game that allows players to become the main characters of the dramatic, titanic struggle between the struggling Napoleonic Empire and the coalition of Russia, Austria, and Great Britain (with their Prussian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Swedish allies).The game starts after Napoleons disastrous 1812 retreat from Moscow, covering the decisive years of 1813 and 1814. The abstract game map involves a strategic theatre portraying Europe from the Iberian Peninsula to the boundaries of Poland and Prussia. It also includes the secondary front of Italy, an area for depicting maritime warfare and the British/American War of 1812. The game has been created to be played as both a diplomatic and strategic military conflict without losing the taste of the Napoleonic eras great battles.
