In the wake of a great storm, in May 1798, Bonaparte left France heading for Egypt. By August 1801, the remnants of his exhausted army surrendered to the British. Face his challenge of creating a French empire in the Middle East and re-write history, or defeat Bonaparte to ensure Britain’s allies retain control of this important gateway to the East.
This first game in the Limits of Glory series explores the impact of skill and luck on Napoleon Bonaparte’s invasion of Egypt. The game begins with Bonaparte’s army and accompanying Savants aboard the French combined fleets leaving Toulon, Genoa, and Civitavecchia in 1798. Try to avoid the Royal Navy in the Mediterranean, then continue through all the conquest, exploration, hardships and disappointments of the campaign. Will it end with the final surrender of the remains of his army or will he succeed in creating an Eastern Empire?
