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

Description provided by Hexed And Countered on YouTube:

A play example of the game Position Magnifique - The Battle of Mars-la-Tour 1870 from Paper Wars issue #81 (Compass Games) from 2015. The game is designed by Hermann Luttmann and was originally released (and then re-released) as Duel of Eagles. This is the first game to use the chit-pull-driven system that evolved into the Blind Swords series which has grown to encompass 11 games (and counting) with six of them from Hermann Luttmann himself and the others from several other designers. Eight of the games are available from Revolution Games, one was released by GMT Games and the other by Tiny Battle Publishing. The system was later adapted by Mr. Luttmann into the Shattered Union series (from Tiny Battle) and the Black Swan series (from Flying Pig Games) - both of those series have one release thus far. 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.
