Luke, You are using rules where none are necessary. Unnecessary rules only serve to slow the play of the game. One of the greatest battles I was ever...
Hi Bob I think it really depends on how much detail individuals and/or groups want in their games. Speaking for myself I do want the extra detail at command ...
Interesting your point about playing Wagram, hopefully in the July, in South Somerset we will play a what if post Wagram, using the Wagram OOBs, basically...
I said that I found Wagram the most interesting Napoleonic battle of the era, not that I have actually played it in its entirety (yet). That one would ...
By the way, in reagrd to very large battles like Austerlitz... Have you guy's checked out the board game Napoleon's Triumph? I bought the game and have played...
Not sdre I would define Austerlitz as a very large JNapoleonic battle. There were quite a few that were much bigger than that eg Lutzen, Bautzen, Dresden ...
Roger that, I have the Digby book so will set to work out the orbats, and do a google on znaim or whatever it is called now, I see in the "Napoleons Great...
Qiute a magor scap in fact lasting two days with up to 84000 French and 60000 Austrians in the area by the second day. The whole thing was brought to a halt by...
Sure, but he has not created boardgames for those scenarios jsut yet: only has Austerlitz and Merngo so far; I'm usre he will kick off a few others. Merngo...
Hmm, doing a boardgame retailing at between £30 - 40 or even highter in some cases these days deaing with one battle versus using 5mm figures which may cost...
To each his own. I play NB with 15mm minis, but also do the book-shelf board-games. A quick throw-down is too often exactly what the monkey ordered. Anyway,...
The board games I tend to buy and play are much more of an operational and strategic nature. In Napoleonics something like 1807 Eagles Turn East or the old La...
I think he meant their Napoleonic Wars debut :-) By the time of Austerlitz I doubt that there were very many, if any who would have been alive at the time of...
NT and AOn are the only two Napoleoinc's board games that I own. ... From: LUCASWILLEN05@... To: napsbattles@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wed, 2 Apr 2008 06:03:42...
Lawrence, Golly! I was not aware they had been previously used during the Revolution or Napleonic wars. Thus, their debut. They certainly were tall, whether...
Posted by: "rratisbon" rratisbon@... rratisbon ... If you similarly averred that the Coldstream Guards "made their debut" in France in 1940, I suspect...
While a French victroy at Waterloo might not have changesd the final outcome of the war it probably would not have changed the outcome of the war.Thre would...
I doubt a British military defeat would have stopped British financing of the war. It probably would have only given it more impetus. that old revenge thing. ...
A British military defeat in Belgium, if sufficiently decisive, could well have brought down the British Government and brought leaders to power who were more...
All this talk is leading me to one conclusion - I must run a what if campaign! I ran a "Waterloo was rained off game" but I think a series of encounters...
Another couple of interesting ideas are 1 What if Napoleon had decided not to invade Belgium and insead fought on the defensive against the Coaltion invading...
Many years ago now my local NB group set up a campaign where Bavaria Baden and Wurtemburg formed an alliance of German states to halt the rise of Prussia. The...
Lawrence, I bow to your superior forensec abilities. I would, however, point out that at the opera and ballet, principals are introduced as making their...
Although of course the Austrian army of the 1809 campaign still had a number of key deficencies which are fully accounted for under the rules. Key amongst...
Had an incident today with a scenario. One side holds a town, the other shells the town with 12lb battery and sets it on fire. The defending play fails to...
My personal ruling in this situation would be that nobody gets the points. In larger towns I would rule that units only pull out of the sector that is burning....
Bob ecrit: and of course the Saxons who, in terms of performance, left much to be desired particularly at Wagram ... I would have said, particularly after...
In defence of the Saxons their tactical doctrine at the time of Wagram was very much that of the 18th Century rather than the Napoleonic era. Some reforms did...
