Jena is a tactical level Napoleonic simulation game using the Waterloo Campaign engine.

Game scale: Squares represent 100 yards, units are battalions.

The crushing defeat inflicted on the Prussian Army by Napoleon on the 14th of October 1806, was actually the combined result of two simultaneous but quite different battles. NapoleonÕs Army which easily out-numbered its enemies, met the Prussian and Saxon combined force under Hohenlohe at Jena. Strictly speaking, this victory was therefore brilliant but it came as no surprise.

On the other hand, the battle of Auersteadt, which took place several miles to the north at the same time, remains on of the greatest all-time military exploits. It was there that Davout and only his 3rd Corps, faced the King of PrussiaÕs main Army, and realized the amazing feat of routing the elite of the army that thought itself the best in the world.

The EmperorÕs skills werenÕt any less remarkable in the development of the strategic phase, in the organization of the French Army or in the placing of the reserves. Napoleon directed the progress of his Corps brilliantly while his opponents hesitated and got tied up in endless discussions. The Eagle thought quickly, acted quickly and could only win.

None of NapoleonÕs other victories was as effective or as total as the double blow inflicted on the 14th of October 1806. At Jena and at Auersteat, the Prussian Army was routed and soon after annihilated. Lannes was the hero of Jena, Davout the victor of Auerstaedt. The one French failure of this conflict was the French marshal Bernadotte, who was asked to help by Davout but spend the day marching between the two battles without helping out in either.
