Napoléon 1806 is the first installment in the Conquerors Series.

On August 9, 1806, Frederick William of Prussie, in reaction to the recent creation of the Confederation of the Rhine by Napoléon decreed the order of mobilization. War becomes unavoidable.

The Prussian army concentrates in Erfürt without waiting for the troops of its Russian ally. Taking his opponents by surprise, Napoleon enters Saxony with the Grande Armée on October 7, 1806 and move to Berlin. A week later, the Prussians, defeated at Jena and Auerstaedt, retreat northwards. The pursuit, led by Murat's cavalry can begin.
