1812-1s3: Master of the World, 1812 in Russia is the second of our new ESR Series 3 Campaign Guides and is by far the most beautiful product we’ve shipped to-date. So here is what to expect in 1812-1s3!

The Book

  • All new artwork, maps, layout, uniform plates, etc… with higher color fidelity and crisper images.

The History

  • The entire Campaign Guide was rewritten to tell the story of Napoléon’s most devastating campaign.
  • Present tense briefings put the player in the place of the historical generals.

The Maps

  • Featuring all new maps from a mix of rare and historical sources – including Russian sources previously unavailable to us.
  • All new scenario maps, we’ve “zoomed out” to provide more space for approach and to standardize on several sizes.
  • New “world” political map of the “Napoleonic World” – Europe and North Africa – showing the political boundaries in the year of the campaign.
  • New theater maps showing the disposition of major forces at the onset of each campaign.
  • New operational maps “zoomed in” for each scenario showing who was approaching the battlefield from where.

The Uniforms

  • Adding back views, footwear, sabretaches, drums, and horse furniture.
  • Index of every historical unit involved in the scenarios and the number of game Units necessary to represent its peak size.
