Horse & Musket: Age of Napoléon (V)

Horse & Musket: Age of Napoléon (V)

The final phase of the French Revolutionary War saw the rise of the greatest commander of the era. Napoléon Bonaparte was a military and political genius, who used his growing popularity to make himself ruler of France. After an assassination attempt, he made himself emperor, hoping to be accepted by other monarchs. He was not, and the mutual distrust and antipathy led both sides to choose war over peace. The conflict spanned all of Europe, from the mountains of Portugal to the gates of Moscow. The struggle spilled into the wider world, in time dragging America into the conflict as she waged a separate and futile war with the British.
