Coalitions

Coalitions is a light weight, grand strategy game based on the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. Players, representing major European powers, compete against each other to shape the future of the Continent against the First French Empire. Each player controls one of six asymmetric factions: France, England, Austria, Prussia, Russia or the Ottoman Empire. Alliances can be created (and broken) leading to swings in the fronts of the wars. If we get the full 6p, we'll play the 1805: The Third Coalition scenario that kicked off the Napoleonic Wars period and featured the battles of Ulm and Austerlitz. If lower player counts, we'll do the Realpolitik expansion that covers the Franco-Prussian War.
