Re: Napoleonic Campaign Group

Jim:

I have also created a 'Campaign Lite' system for creating interesting battles in
a short time with the tabletop incorporated. Take any pre-battle historical
situation where the armies are 2-4 miles apart, usually a day or two before the
battle, and in a half hour, even over the phone you can generate an interesting
battle with some context and some pre-battle maneuvering. It does incorporate
hidden movement.

It was an article in MWAN a few years ago.

Best Regards,

Bill H.

Hi Paul, Yes, I'd agree that the interface between campaign & tabletop is the key. Have you ever heard of, or seen, the old 1970's "Warplan 5x5" system? Jim...
