Battles for Empire (1990)

Battles for Empires is a Napoleonic miniatures system that is designed to move more quickly than many systems. It is focused primarily on small unit tactics and historical accuracy. Each turn represents 10 minutes, and each inch represents 50 yards. The system is simple and centered on tactics. The effect of individual leaders is also strong in the game. The rules are well illustrated with photo examples throughout, with over 100 photos total. The rules are 40 pages long and 6 two-sided charts are included with the book. Optional rules include rules for a variety of artillery and weather.
