Has any played Napoleon at Bay from Operational Studies Group?

I am curious if anyone has because the game system sounds unique. The map is covered with enemy flags but you do not know the strength at that flag until you scout it out. Sounds pretty interesting but for $54, I would love some input first!

Nap At Bay--a Classic

Definitely get it. The game has seen three editions--the original was put out by OSG when it first formed and was an immediate hit. When OSG folded, Avalon Hill reissued it. When AH folded and OSG was reborn, they fixed up the game a little and republished it.

Napoloen's 1814 campaign to save Paris isn't well known or understood...but here we see the old Emperor do some fancy footwork just like he did when he was much younger. The system is terrific and proved to be the foundation for a raft of other games on Napoleonic operations.

I'd say you can't go wrong here.
