Kevin Zucker's Operational Studies Group website has some good historical summaries available. I met Kevin a couple years ago with his Napoleon at the Crossroads game set up and spent quite a while chatting with him. He is a wealth of information. His historical summaries are worth checking out.

ahaha.....I think i'll cross post this quote in another thread where Murat and I are defending EiA FOW rules:

quote:

Pay Attention. Use the limited intelligence rules to your advantage. Keep track of the forces involved in all battles. If no one else is maintaining a running record of game events, do so yourself. He who has sole ownership of the game history will find himself in a powerful negotiating position when others suddenly became concerned about the exact strength of a force which has turned and now threatens their capitals.

Wars of Napoleon is a link to the online West Point military history campaign atlas series.

Somebody had better take down those links in the opening post.
They do not appear to go where they once may have.



Magpius -> RE: Excellent Source of Advice for Beginners and Experts (2/20/2022 9:46:39 AM)

Many of the earlier links are also broken.
To be expected I guess, after so many years.

I cannot recall what EIA 'tips' were on the old EIA Archives site long ago. I'll say that when this Matrix version game was released, the game manual did not include the Player Notes from the original rules. I added those (16.0), as well as the two strategy articles that appeared in The General, "Grand and Grandiose Strategy" (17.0) and "Campaigning in Arms" (18.0). Also, the \Data\docs folder in the game contains the Murat Tutorial and a Combat Tables Reference card to help players. So there's plenty of advice for beginners and experts provided with the game now that wasn't there upon release. Probably more than plenty, if you read and study sections 16-18 in the manual.
