English translation of rules provided in Alea #16. From the description: "The Shadow of the Eagle is a standard system of rules covering operational combat of the Napoleonic period. Each scenario covers a different battle , usually from the Spanish War of Independence (1808-1814), also known (outside of Spain) as the Peninsula Campaign. The games may be played solitaire, between two players, or between two teams of players. These English language rules were translated from the original Spanish for Paper Wars (January 1996). Clarifications, interpretations and addenda have been added. In a few cases the rules have been streamlined and verbosity reduced. Some basic knowledge of war games is assumed."
