NAPOLEONIC WARS – HEX SCENARIO
Organisation Both sides have three corps for activation purposes.
Terrain The River is unfordable.
Set Up The deployment areas for each corps are shown on the map. The French deploy first. No units commence prepared or in reserve status. Units are set up anywhere in their corps deployment area including half hexes at the side of their deployment box [but not the half hexes at the edge of the board, these are always off limits].
Reinforcements The reinforcements arrive in reserve status. The hex they arrive in is the first hex of a two hex move as per normal reinforcement rules. They arrive in the Status Phase and no Momentum points are required to bring them on. They can be brought in on any hex in the reinforcement area they are assigned to.
Turn 10 - Delmas arrives in any of the arrowed hexes.
Victory Conditions If neither side breaks the other within 30 turns the battle is a draw.
