Sun of Austerlitz

SGB-27 Sun of Austerlitz (1987) (JPY 4800)

Subtitled “Napoleon vs. Kutusov 2 December 1805”

One half-sized map, 252 counters, 2 identical PAC, one rulebook (24 pgs) of which only 11 pages are actual rules. Looks to be one scenario.

Unit sizes seem to be regiments with hourly turns. No map scale given. Combat units look to have “combat-morale-movement” numbers. The CRT has several results that looks morale related and not just step losses. Units have reduced-strength sides and there are ‘D’ markers.

This game is republished on Game Journal #33 in 2009. In the magazine, there are many new articles about the game and the battle and the interview with the designer, Tomotsugu Morino.
