BREAKING NEWS! AGE OF HONOR TEST DRIVE FREE DOWNLOAD, RIGHT!

Age of Eagles is Napoleonic Fire & Fury, the miniatures game you and many others have been waiting for. Fully integrated into the original, classic rules set (affectionately known as BOFF, or Basic Original Fire & Fury), huge battles are now possible in a system that balances accuracy and simplicity.

Units are infantry and cavalry brigades as well as artillery batteries of 6 to 12 guns. Each infantry stand represents 360 foot soldiers while each cavalry stand represents 180 troopers. Ground scale is 120 yards to each inch, while all turns represent 30 minutes actual time. Commanders are deployed for independent brigades, divisions, corps and the army.

This is a "Big Battle" game where you command divisions, not battalions. Everything is included to make battles of over 150,000 combatants a playable reality. Unit data charts, Irregular units such as Prussian Landwehr, lancers, cuirassiers and more, are all presented in a format to appeal to Grognard and recruit alike. Scenarios and maps follow the original BOFF presentation format, so the entire book will be easy to understand.

Superlative reviews in Military Miniatures Magazine and at Deep Fried Happy Mice:

The Age of Eagles is a very, very well put together rule book. The rules go into great detail and make no assumptions about prior player knowledge of the period. The diagrams are many, and each is extensively captioned . . . I really appreciate all the detail provided – a great many rules sets do not take the time to spell out, for example, how to move the stands when changing formation.
And from Miniature Wargames (UK) reviewer Bill Loade, April 2009:

Now back to the original question. Does Age of Eagles have that Napoleonic feel? I suspect you have guessed my answer is YES. As a long time Napoleonic gamer I have to say they succeed really well and have inspired our group to start gaming the period again . . . So my advice is dust down those troops and purchase the rule set. You won't regret it.
