"1870: The War Against The Empire" is the first in a new sub-series of wargames within the 2140 series called the Long Century Operational Series covering 19th century conflicts at a unique operational scale. 1870 covers the first month/phase of the Franco-German war, in which the combined armies of Germany overwhelmed the martial forces of Napoleon III in a lightning campaign of opportunity and maneuver taking only a month to overthrow the Second Empire. 1870 is heavily inspired by SPI’s "Wilderness Campaign", Mark Simonitch’s "US Civil War" and the "Great Campaigns of the American Civil War" series.
