|
Here is a "brief" description of the campaign(s)
Game Duration:
1805 to 1815
Maybe roughly divided in 3 chapters to reduce numbers of playing turns.
1805-1807 (Ulm to Tilsit)
- 1805 Campaign against Austria (with Russia)
- 1806 Campaign in Italy (Naples/Russia/UK)
- 1806-1807 Campaign against Prussia (with Russia)
1807-1812
- Peninsular war Part I
- Russo Swedish war
- Campaign against Austria 1809
- Walcheren expedition
- Russo Turkish war
1812-1815
- Peninsular war Part II
- War 0f 1812 (USA east coast,Canada)
- Russian Campaign 1812
- War of liberation 1813
- Campaign of France 1814
- The hundred days and Waterloo
MAP:
330x208 hexes (roughly 20 kms per hex)
New Gfx (19th century boardgame orientated)
New terrain (light woods, low hills).
Timescale:
Simultaneous and seasonal
summer/Fall/Spring 1turn = 1 week
winter 1turn = 2 weeks
will need evaluation and fine tuning....
Major countries:
France
Austria
England
Spain
Russia
Sweden
Prussia
Ottoman Empire
Denmark
USA
and too many minors to be resumed here
Special rules:
No operationnal move (will not be realistic to move a unit from Madrid to smolensk in 1 turn, and of course no railroads)
Forced march will be adjusted to 25/50% AP gain (under testing)
HQ will not be reformable (so a particular care about high rate leaders has to be considered)
Entrenchement will be drasticaly reduced except on fortress (Napoleonic war is much oriented on open ground and mobile warfare)
Supply (will see how things will behave)
No Artillery unit: due to game scale, I decide that Artillery (except siege) will be abstracted via manual upgrades.
more to come ....
