Description
Caldiero, 1796 is a Tactical level board-wargame on the battle fought during the Napoleon's Italian Campaign. It was one of the few Austrians victories in this campaign and represents the first defeat suffered by General Napoleon Bonaparte. The day of the battle was characterized by heavy rain, cloudburst, snow and a ice storm. The game uses a simplified version of the one used in Massena at Loano and Wise Bayonet. The game is included in the Para Bellum II magazine. Available with Italian rules, but English rules can be downloaded from Para Bellum web-site.
