This is complete refit of the 1989 game. New map and counters, all done by Charles Kibler. It simulates the abortive attempt on 30 and 31 October 1813 by the Austro-Bavarians under de Wrede to prevent Napoleon's escape from Germany after the defeat at Leipzig, by blocking him near Frankfurt. The game uses the now robust latest version of the rules, which employs roster sheets and oblong counters to simulate formation changes between line and column. The battle is fought at regimental level at a scale of 250m per hex, and in 30-minute game turns. Losses are recorded on roster sheets, and the rules, in english (the French version will be available on the Pratzen website), are of medium complexity. This new edition also includes the second day battle set up and units, when de Wrede tried to attack the French after the Emperor left. Game System: scale = 250 m/hex; time = 30 min/GT; strength = 300 men/SP (Regimental Size).
La Bataille de Hanau has 4 videos from 3 creators: 1 review and 3 how-to-play guides. They date from 2021 to October 2022.
To learn the rules, start with "La Bataille de Hanau by Didier Rouy published by Legion Wargames and Pratzen Editions" by Sons of Liberty 75, which runs 7 min.
For an opinion before you buy, start with "La Bataille de Hanau - My Review" by Matt White Wargames.
If you like it, try Trois Batailles en Allemagne and La Bataille de Leipzig, also by Didier Rouy, or Men of Iron Battles Tri-Pack: Men of Iron, Infidel, Blood & Roses and Napoleon's Last Battles, which share several of its mechanics.
