Hm. Is there any game from the Napoleonic era that grey used as a national color for Prussia? So far I have found only variations of the black/white scheme. But if grey is more beautiful...maybe also pink for Austria?

Just check post# 14 on same thread

Computer game...
No matter. Grey is also ok. As an old Prussian player, I was just a bit surprised.

John Tiller Napoleonic Series...

I know the OOB already exists. But the following list might help to avoid the "hard coded" complex.

; Unit IDs
#UNIT_ID_0= [ex. HQ] now Marshal*
#UNIT_ID_1= Garrison (Regiment)*
#UNIT_ID_2= [ex.Brigade] now Militia Infantry (Division)*
#UNIT_ID_3= [ex. Division] now Light Infantry (Division)*
#UNIT_ID_4= [ex. Corps] now Line Infantry (Division)*
#UNIT_ID_5= [ex. Army] now Guard Infantry (Division)*
#UNIT_ID_6= Mechanized (Free for country specific Inf/Cavalry)
#UNIT_ID_7= Special Forces (Free for country specific infantry with shipping ability)
#UNIT_ID_8= [ex. Engineers] now Sapper (Regiment)*
#UNIT_ID_9= Paratroops (After settig OpR. to zero, free for country specific Infantry)

#UNIT_ID_11= [ex. Cavalry Division] now Light Cavalry (Division)*
#UNIT_ID_12= [ex. Cavalry Corps] now Heavy Cavalry (Division)*
#UNIT_ID_13= Partisans*
#UNIT_ID_14= Pillbox (Free for country specific Inf/Cavalry)

#UNIT_ID_17= [ex. Field Artillery] now Army Corps (With infantry, cavalry and artillery ability)*
#UNIT_ID_18= Heavy Artillery (Free for country specific Cavalry)

I think it will fit better.

Perhaps we also need a few contemporary fortresses. SIPRES has a skilled hand...

Will some nations get special units e.g. British Rifle Regiments, Prussian Jaegers and Landwehr etc.? Not saying they should, just curious

kirk23 have you given any thought at this stage as to how many ships the game could handle? Or is it too early for that?

As far as I know the game can handle a great many ships, at this stage my plan is that 1st,2nd,3rd and 4th Rate ships will have no effect on the Merchant Convoy routes,their job is simply to fight other ships of the line,so on the map initially they will be in port or on blockade duty.

The Frigates,Sloops & Brigs will mostly be positioned on or near the Merchant Convoy routes, The game will have many more Merchant routes on the map,than is in the game at the present time, all the Major Nations will have merchant supply routes going all over the map, which means the Naval game will be really interesting,because each sides forces will have to protect their own routes,while at the same time attack their enemy supply lanes.

Barbary pirates, Barbary corsairs or Ottoman corsairs will be in the game, sailing from Morocco, Algiers etc.

Brand new French 1st Rate artwork in full colour.

I prefer this artwork to the previous, has more atmosphere - won't the counters need to be a bit smaller, though, otherwise they will overlap with other units when close? Also I assume would have a flag, rather than roundel?

Great stuff, there shouldn't be any confusion with land units as only naval units can be in sea hexes

Well, it's a counter not a selection! The hex border is the country colour and the background has a light transparency. By using the entire hexfield it's possible to size up the ships...

A massive counter would distroy the "high sea" feeling and cover too much of the map background...
