Position Magnifique: The Battle of Mars-la-Tour 1870 - First Look

Watch “Position Magnifique: The Battle of Mars-la-Tour 1870 - First Look,” a gameplay video on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Hexed And Countered on YouTube:

A first look at the third edition of the very first Blind Swords game, Position Magnifique: The Battle of Mars-la-Tour 1870 from Paper Wars #81. The game was originally titled Duel of Eagles and was released by White Dog Games (which still has a version called Duel of Eagles II available for purchase). The video includes some background on the battle and the Blind Swords system and is the first in a series on this system which has grown to over 10 entries covering the American Civil War as well as the Franco-Prussian War (as is the case here). For more info, check out the game's page on Boardgame Geek: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/124034/position-magnifique-battle-mars-la-tour-1870 Paper Wars #81 is no longer available from Compass Games but may be available from secondary sources (I purchased it from Noble Knight Games). The Duel of Eagles II version from White Dog can be found here: https://www.whitedoggames.com/duel-of-eagles As always, thanks for watching!

About Position Magnifique: The Battle of Mars-la-Tour, 1870, from BoardGameGeek:

Duel of Eagles is a medium-complexity wargame on the Battle of Mars-la-Tour, in the Franco-Prussian War. This battle is notable for having one of the last successful cavalry assaults in modern warfare. This is a chit-pull game. The chits are either Activation Chits, which activate all units within the indicated corps, or Event Chits, which each contain two possible events which the player can chose between. Each turn both players draw from the chit cup until all chits have been used or there are no remaining HQ's on the map. The game requires the players to maintain supply lines, both to rally units that are shaken or low on ammo and to achieve the victory conditions. The victory conditions for the French player are to maintain the routes to Metz and Verdun. The Prussian player must try to prevent this from happening.
