This compelling alternate history, brilliantly written by fourteen leading international authors, presents the great maybes of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars The Napoleon Options focuses on some of the pivotal episodes of these catastrophic wars, giving them a resounding twist, and explores in detail an alternative sequence of historical events. Rooted firmly in reality, and projected from entirely factual events, these dramatic and plausible possibilities are played out as though they actually happened in vivid and dramatic narratives.The Napoleonic Options presents ten scenarios spanning the years between 1796 and 1815. These include a full-blown French invasion of Ireland, a very real danger in the 1790s; Napoleons successful conquest of Egypt and the Middle East; Junots victory at Vimerio; the Austrian invasion of Bavaria in 1809; the Russian success at Borodino, and what might have happened at Waterloo. Amongst the addition contributions in this new extended edition are alternative outcomes to the battles of Essling, Austerlitz, Fuentes d Ooro, and New Orleans.These captivating scenarios colourfully illustrate how alternate results might have radically re-shaped events and demonstrate the far-reaching consequences minor changes could have had upon the future course of history.

A panoramic chronicle of Napoleon Bonaparte’s rise to power—excerpted from celebrated historian Charles Esdaile’s masterwork Napoleon’s Wars Napoleon’s Wars offers a definitive account of the violent conflicts that seethed within Europe from the end of the Peace of Amiens in 1803 to the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, recognizing not only the role of Napoleon himself, but also of the larger forces at play during this tumultuous era. In this excerpt, acclaimed historian Charles Esdaile chronicles the shifting European alliances and simmering enmities in the closing years of the 18th century and follows the rise of young Napoleon from misfit schoolboy to the conquering hero of France. Stripping away myth and fabrication to lay bare the future ruler of the French Empire’s vainglorious nature and obsessive lust for power, Esdaile reveals the young Corsican as a master manipulator, who time and again bends political tensions, cultural conflict, and military strategy toward his own aims. A selection from the work the Economist has called “explanatory history of high order,” Napoleon: Ascent to Power offers a wide-ranging explanation of the circumstances that led the countries of Europe to fight each other so ferociously for so long, and a portrait of the man who pushed the conflict to new heights of devastation.

"This volume covers Napoleon's gradual fall from power, beginning in the spring of 1813, when France prepared to face the vengeance of Russia and Prussia. quickly raising new armies composed of inexperienced conscripts and invalided veterans, and with a critical shortage of cavalry, Napoleon resolved to preserve his empire in Germany, where he initially managed to achieve some hard-fought victories. When at last Austria threw in her lot with the Allies and the epic Battle of Leipzig followed, Napoleon was forced to retreat across the Rhine, there to resist the onslaught on home soil. The pressure against him proved too great, and with Paris lost and his marshals refusing to fight on, no option remained but abdication. Yet his last battle, and one of the most decisive in military history, was still to come: Waterloo."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

The never-before told story of how Napoleon's top brass escaped to America after Waterloo. Empire's Eagles is colorful, new, and an effectively unknown chapter in American history. In its center is the mystery of whether Napoleon's "Bravest of the brave," Marshal Ney, cheated a firing squad to escape under an alias and reinvent himself in America. At sunset on June 18, 1815 Napoleon Bonaparte was in desperate flight from the battlefield at Waterloo. Racing to reach Paris, he abandoned on the road his armored coach and Imperial necessaire containing a fortune in precious gems and cash. Would he stand and fight again or flee to the United States of America? On the run and with his options dwindling by the day, Napoleon came within one hour of secretly slipping to America on a Baltimore privateer with the active collusion of the United States consul in Bordeaux. Empire's Eagles tells the details of this story for the first time ever.

In the Legions of Napoleon recounts the adventures of an intrepid Polish soldier who fought for Napoleon the length and breadth of Europe. By the time he was twenty-five, Heinrich von Brandt had marched from Madrid to Moscow and had been severely wounded on three separate occasions. From 1808 to 1812 he was caught up in Napoleons attempt to subjugate Spain, fighting in battles, sieges including the siege of Saragossa and hunting and being hunted by merciless bands of guerrillas. In 1812 his unit took part in the crossing of the Niemen and the epic retreat from Moscow.In his extraordinary memoirs Brandt describes in great detail the actions in which he fought, the type of officers and men he served with, and the grueling campaigns in which they participated. He also gives fascinating insight into the minds of his comrades and superiors. This book is a must for every Napoleonic historian, enthusiast, and anyone who likes a good story of high adventure.

We are proud to announce our first Grand Battles supplement has now been released! You can build Napoleon's French armies between 1808-1815 using Napoleon's Grande Armee Parade Handbook. It is 68 pages, full colour book. In this supplement you will find in-depth divisional organisations for all the French main battle divisions between 1808-1815. From these lists you can build pretty much any French corps that fought in Spain, Italy, Austria, Russia and Germany. Although for all allied divisions you will need their handbooks as well, as this supplement only covers the French. Build Line, Reserve, Marie Louise, Marine, Swiss, Grenadier, Young, Middle and Old Guard infantry divisions. You can also build historical Light, Dragoon, Cuirassier and Guard cavalry divisions as well as deploy Grand Batteries. We have also added in our selection of National Heroes into the Headquarters options. Napoleon comes to mind - naturally! However, you can also select Ney, Davout, Lannes, Massena, Soult, Macdonald and Nansoulty. Men like Murat and Eugene, who also commanded other national forces will be highlighted in those handbooks. Both of these French Generals will be found in the Armies of Italy handbook. All national traits and special rules pertaining to the French are easily located in the glossary at the end of the book, so you will never have to worry about trying to find out what Marie Louise troops can and cannot do! The army list building options are very flexible and clearly laid out. The other day we played a French vs Austrian game and going straight to George Nafziger's orders of battle for the Dresden campaign as my source, I built Lauriston's French corps in a few minutes, using this French supplement! Vive la France! Vive l'Empereur!

A modern military leader can learn a great deal about the art and science of warfare by studying the battles of Napoleon. Although the means and methods of land warfighting have changed drastically since the French Emperor's time, many fundamentals-such as campaign planning and maneuvering of large forces-remain much the same. The lessons to be learned from such study take on particular contemporary relevance when the analysis proceeds in terms of the modern Principles of War. Napoleon's Waterloo campaign, which sees its 175th anniversary in June of this year, dramatically demonstrates how one of history's greatest commanders applied these important concepts in reaching his decisions. During the Waterloo campaign, Napoleon made 13 significant decisions, each of which concerned critical features of the campaign plan or one of the major engagements. These decisions and their applicable principles will be assessed from Napoleon's perspective-concentrating on his options, his circumstances, his apparent rationale for selecting these courses of action. Moreover, the picture of the battlefield will be that of the French as it developed in their command post. Thus our picture will be obscured by the same foggy information that clouded Napoleon's vision at the time. The events of the campaign encompass four months starting with Napoleon's escape on 1 March 1815 from banishment on the island of Elba and ending with his defeat near Waterloo on the evening of 18 June. Napoleon had been forced into exile on Elba in 1814 as a result of his obsessive attempt to dominate all of Europe. The Bourbon monarchy that followed Napoleon's abdication was neither wise nor effective, and the French people quickly grew dissatisfied. Sensing an opportunity to reinstate his empire, Napoleon returned to France on 20 March to undertake one last grand gamble. He was triumphantly received in Paris, and Louis XVIII fled to Belgium.
