Rêves de Gloire ("Dreams of Glory") is a solitaire, strategic-level wargame of the Napoleonic Wars between 1805-14. The player takes the role of Napoleon Bonaparte, the newly self-crowned Emperor of France, determining French foreign and military policy, establishing Bonapartist dynasties in satellite states, and raising and leading French and allied armies and fleets in an era of ever-shifting alliances. The game system controls the opposing Coalition forces led by Great Britain. The objective of the Empire is to conquer or control either Great Britain, or as much of Europe as possible, without upsetting the balance of Power, and thus triggering radical revolution or conservative reaction.
