Hi Michael, I'd be happy to send you all the Soldier King stuff, just
let me know your email addy {smile}. I should say I'm talking about
the 1980's-vintage GDW boardgame, not the more recent Avalanche Press
offering of the same or similar name. The map is a scanned-in copy of
the SK mapboard, with the provinces and many of the cities renamed to
reflect historical rather than fictional places. The campaign has
France, Italy & the Rhinebund on one side, with Britain, Portugaul,
Spain, Austria & Bavaria on the other. The rules are based closely on
the original SK rules, modified for PBEM by 4 players and for battles
fought with AoE. I am also fortunate in possessing a full "triple set"
of the old 1970's-vintage "Warplan 5x5" tactical mapsets, which are used
in the campaign for "grand tactical" maneuvering and to set the terrain
for the battles. All the battles are fought, right now, at my place, on
my 6'x10' wargame table. Jim ;-)

summer I began re-basing my 1970's vintage 25mm Scruby Napoleonic armies
for AoE (about 3000 figures); I loved ACW F&F, having played it a lot in
the '90's. I use standard AoE base sizes, with 2 25mm infantry per
infantry base, and 1 cavalry figure per cavalry base.

that it would cover the creation of campaigns, how to make maps, how to
plan the campaign, how to record the campaign in diaries or movement
orders and how to produce battle reports.
