Overview

The Coming Storm II is a large-scale quadrigame depicting the major battles of the War of the Fourth Coalition. This updated edition features completely redesigned components and integrates the latest TLNB series rules.

The game explores the clash between Napoleon’s army and two very different opponents:

• the Russians during the winter campaign in Poland

Each scenario includes the operational approach to the battlefield on the day before the engagement, enhancing realism and decision-making.
