Written by Phillip A. Jones, Élan Deluxe is a flowing game that accurately reflects historical Napoleonic tactics.

This Deluxe version adds on previous versions and also includes campaign rules Etat-Major and optional rules.

Players are placed "on the table" and granted wide historical latitude to control their units. The typical game is at the Division per side, but it can easily scale up to Corps and even Army sized actions.

The rules sequence features both simultaneous and alternate actions, resulting in an intuitive and balanced game that captures the feel of the period strongly. The game is suitable for Brigade actions up to Corps plus sized battles.

Individual units represented are the battalion, regiment and battery and players can do sub-unit actions such as company and squadron actions.

You can use any basing system, and the default scale is 1:50, but players can use any ratio such as 1:20 or 1:60.

It is a game that replicates the tactics of the period and enables gamers to play the period and not get bogged down in complex rules.

Elan will appeal to players who enjoy tactical nuance and want a game that grows with them in subtlety and tactical complexity. It is written in a clear, concise style and are well indexed and logically laid out.

Also included in the rules are extensive unit ratings for over twenty nations and over 40 Division sized army lists for every nation that took part in the conflict including multiple theatres.

We welcome you to the forum and look forward to hearing about your Elan gaming experiences.
