Re: [napsbattles] 3rd edition: What are your plans to play first?


I think it might have been Volume 2 you saw. According to the publisher's
website, at least last time I looked the final volume is not due until later
this year. Of course, it is possible that they published it early and you are
correct.
Either that or Amazon have wormhole technology that we don't know about :-)
I will check later though, just in cas you are right.

I believe I saw Vol III of Gill's Austrian campaign on Amazon the other
day...

A couple of other interesting smaller scenario possibilities from the 1809
campaign might be the engagement at Laichling (21 April), Eggmuhl, Hausen,
Sacile,Soave/Sacile,Soave/<WBR>Castelcerino (29 - 30 April)and the Piave.
Aspern
also interesting but the latter in particular is a massive game, Apart from
Wagram all of the above have been covered in Gill's recent work, the first
two
volumes of which are already in print and well worth the cost.

The evening attack on the first day of Wagram would be a good scenario but
the second day would require a very large table and perhaps needs to be run
in
2mm to make it viable. It would also require a lengthy playing time, at
least
a full day or weekend and probably more. However, from a grand tactical
perspective it is a fascinating subject. You could of course game parts of
the
battle as seperate games eg the struggle for the line of the Russbach etc
which
could be more achievable.

I am looking forward to the third volume of Gill's work due to be published
later in the year, particularly if he covers Znaim in detail as this also
would be a great NB scenario.

the first division will get painted this week. I am
very excited about it.
