Description of Battles of Napoleon
Released in 1991, this is a very realistic war game on the most famous battles of Napoleon's career -- the game comes with Borodino, Waterloo, Quatre Bras, and Auerstadt, but you can design your own ones. You have the ability to play as either the French or the Allies, and all aspects of the battles are here -- cavalry charges, artillery barrages, infantry squares, and so on.
The EGA Graphics are pretty good, despite the age of the game. Downsides to the game are the STEEP learning curve -- the manual is over 100 pages in length -- no mouse support, and horrible sounding PC Speaker sounds.
If you are looking for a good war game on Napoleon's battles, and have the patience to learn this, this is the best game out there.

This little gem is still interesting nowadays, as no one makes turn-based operational-level tactical strategic games any longer.
The main problem of this game is the steep leaning curve. This game comes from before Tutorials were invented, and the scenario proposed by the game manual to begin, Borodino, is already a challenge. It is very easily to get wiped out in your first battle and get frustrated with the game. But if you manage to master Borodino, the learning curve goes downhill from there.
In order to help newcomers get the ropes of the game, I'll provide some advice:
1) The Borodino Scenario:
You have to lead an uphill charge against a heavily fortified enemy position. A hell of a way to introduce you to a game, doesn't it? The newbie mistake here is to charge across the open field and get all your units butchered and routed by the russian artillery fire.
Now, if you study the Line-of-Sight from the russian-held redoubt, you'll notice that there are a lot of blind spots you can use to bypass the Redoubt north and south, mass your forces in it's rear and launch a massive assault to overpower the Redoubt's defenses.
But before assaulting the Redoubt, there are a few things you must do. First, you must clear the hill from all other russian troops. Soften them with your artillery then evict them with cavalry charges. You need also to keep at bay the russian reinforcements coming from the west. Cavalry charges may buffer them down, but Cavalry can't hold ground in this game, so you will need a few infantry to take and hold the two victory objectives behind the Redoubt. Note that half your cavalry is armed with muskets and can dismount and act as infantry to help this purpose.
At the third turn you will get reinforcements, but you have no time to do much with them except launch them charging across the field directly to the Redoubt at turn 4. Time this charge with side and rear infantry charges from your surrounding forces (cavalry can't charge into redoubts, woods or towns). The russian artillery will be forced to fire either to your reinforcements or your encircling force, and the one that doesn't gets mauled will be able to overpower the Redoubt. Clearing the Redoubt and holding at least one of the objectives behind it should be enough to yeld you a Major Victory.
2) Auerstadt
This is basically a pursuit battle. You clash with the Prussian Army at the start, then after it melts down you must relentlessly chase it to the western edge of the map. In this battle you will learn to exploit gaps in the enemy formation, keep up pressure, and guard yourself from enemy cavalry charges.
3) Quatre-Bras
Your objective here is to take and hold the big town with the crossroads, at the north of the map. The initial dutch defenders are easy to overcome, but after you reach Quatre-Bras, the high quality british reinforcements can maul your tired troops if you overextend your offensive. Trying to go to the far-end victory objectives is a trap, you can get a Major Victory by just taking and holding Quatre-Bras. In this scenario you will learn to guard your advance from enemy counter-attacks, preventing yourself from overexhausting your troops.
4) Waterloo
Now it's time to put together everything you learnt from the previous four scenarios. At Waterloo, you need to storm two enemy strongholds, like you learnt at Borodino. You will clash head-on with the british and will have to create and exploit gaps, like in Auerstadt (tough the British line is way tougher to crack), and avoid fatigating your troops too much and hold against counter-attacks, like at Quatre-Bras.
After you have beaten all those four scenarios, you fully master the mechanics of the game and can proceed to the battles in the Scenario Disks.

You have to change the executable from r-bon to the actual game.

I can start it in DodBox, but it keeps asking me to insert floppy or game disk, but the file doesn't show up, so I'm stuck.
Any idea's?
Walter2017-06-050 point DOS version
A crack is included in this download. Run 'R-BON.COM' in the folder from DosBox. You only need to do it once. After that whenever you run 'Start.exe' and is prompted for a password, just type in anything. How did I found out? I saw someone on YouTube starting this game by randomly typing anything, then I found the only executable beside Start.exe. Ran it, game don't start. But I don't need a password ever since! By the way, just got this to run from my android tablet. Now I'm a Napoleonic gameboy! Vive l'empereur!

I found the rule book on the internet. If you have not played you need to read it anyway. Very detailed. Graphics suck but it is a great game.
Gomer2013-02-102 points DOS version
