I'm sure you guys have been asked this a million times, but I'm looking for
a war game to use with 15 mm Napoleonic Wars figurines, and so far, the best
one I found was "Eagles over the Empire". The problem, however, is that the
game seems to be very complex and deep and would require a long time to
fully understand and remember the rules. I'd like to find something a
little easier to work with.

If possible give me a link to a good game.

Shako is pretty easy.

Napoleonic Principles of War (NPOW). I've just played a game of it today -
my 1809 French fought 1812 French to a draw, but I claimed the moral victory
as he resorted to Guard Cavalry to help him out. 🙂

The beauty of the POW system is that once you've played one version fo the
rules (like NPOW), you can easily pick up another version (like Renaissance
POW, Colonial POW, etc) - all the POW systems run off a similar core set of
rules.
