Les Aigles

Modern Conquest and War Games

Les Aigles is a French Napoleonic miniature game set at the battalion level, designed by Jean-Jacques Petit and Jean-Michel Hautefort and published by Descartes Editeur in 1990. The rules are standard for a Napoleonic miniature game of its era, with a semi-simultaneous game sequence, written orders and many tactical factors to weigh, and the mechanics listed include dice rolling, line of sight and measurement movement. It was published in two versions, a boxed set with scenery elements to cut out and build, and a standalone rulebook. The rulebook printed English and French rules on the same page, as with other Jeux Descartes wargames such as Guet-Apens, and the translation was made by Hector A. Cornejo. It is for two to six players and a game is rated at about six hours.
