About the game

The Pratzen is a brigade- and divisional-level tactical game of the struggle for the Pratzen Heights at Austerlitz. Units physically form line, column, and square on the map, while leaders, command relationships, morale, engagement results, and fire discipline create friction that feels appropriate to Napoleonic combat.

Hex scale: 50 paces per hex
