Twilight of the Emperor

Twilight of the Emperor is a set of rules covering the campaigns of the Napoleonic Wars, 1800-1815. As with the other sets in the series it is a set designed to fight large historical battles on a reasonable sized table and with a reasonable number of figures. The player is the army commander seeking to marshal the full forces that their historical counterpart had to achieve victory and not some colonel or brigadier controlling a few battalions or squadrons in the fight for some sector of a battlefield. The concentration is on the 'big picture' rather on relatively unimportant details. The rules reward historic tactics and practices while making typical 'gamer' tactics obsolete. So, players will want their forces to be in at least two lines with a reserve and not strung out in a line as is commonly done in other rules.

Four scenarios are included in the rules - Austerlitz (1805), Abensburg (1809), Talavera (1809) and Dennewitz (1813). Further scenarios will be published in due course.

The rules are available in printed and PDF formats.

In addition a French language copy of the rules is available:

Le Crépuscule de l'Empereur

Version française de la règle "Twilight of the Emperor". Traduction : Philippe Evrard.

La dernière extension de la série de règles "Twilight" (Le crépuscule).

Twilight of the Soldier Kings

The Twilight of the Soldier Kings rules is a set designed to fight large historical battles on a reasonable sized table and with a reasonable number of figures in the era of Fredereick the Great (1730 to 1770). The player is the army commander seeking to marshal the full forces that their historical counterpart had to achieve victory and not some colonel or brigadier controlling a few battalions or squadrons in the fight for some sector of a battlefield. The concentration is on the 'big picture' rather on relatively unimportant details. The rules reward historic tactics and practices while making typical 'gamer' tactics obsolete. So, players will want their forces to be in at least two lines with a reserve and not strung out in a line as is commonly done in other rules.

In addition to the scenarios in the rules there are two scenario books with a total of 25 other scenarios. The second scenario book also includes rules for Regimental Scale battles. While a growing collection of scenarios are available as PDF's.

In addition a French language copy of the rules is available:

Twilight of Divine Right and With Fire And Sword

Twilight of Divine Right

The Twilight of the Divine rules is a set designed to fight large historical battles on a reasonable sized table and with a reasonable number of figures in the era of the Thirty Years War and English Civil Wars (1618 - 1660). The player is the army commander seeking to marshal the full forces that their historical counterpart had to achieve victory and not some colonel or brigadier controlling a few battalions or squadrons in the fight for some sector of a battlefield. The concentration is on the 'big picture' rather on relatively unimportant details. The rules reward historic tactics and practices while making typical 'gamer' tactics obsolete. So, players will want their forces to be in at least two lines with a reserve and not strung out in a line as is commonly done in other rules.

In addition to the scenarios in the rules there are currently three scenario books with scenarios of historical battles in Western and Central Europe in this era.
