The current release has only one scenario that I can see, the 1805-1815 Campaign. The board game has 4 campaign games (1805-1807, 1812-1815, 1813-1815 & 1805-1815) and five non-campaign scenarios (1805 introductory Austerlitz, 1809 Danube, 1812 Russian, 1813 Befreiungskreig and the 1808-1814 Penisular Campaign).

Will any of these scenarios be added to the EiA package as a patch or enhancement. The 1805 would be a good tutorial scenario for those unfamiliar with the EiA mechanics, an the 1809 scenario is also a nice two player game. The 1812 scenario as a two player is fun as well.

Yes, I posted something similar. I love the idea of less players. For some of us that dont have all the time in the world it must makes sense to have a few 2-3-4 player scenarios.

As I recall it the 1805-1807 campaign is just the 1805-1815 campaign with victory points reduced according to fewer turns.
So if you determine victory manually you could play that in the current version af the EiANW.

Would probably still take 7 players though...

When I get the editor done, you guys will be able to make any scenario you want. We'll also release some more scenarios as well. As far as the 2-3-4 player option, just make the ones you don't play an AI opponent. There will alwasys be at least 7 MPs available to play in EiANW BUT this doesn't mean to you have to play them with a human.

it would be good if you could turn the nation off altogether. For example, the 1812 scenario is set entirely on the eastern map in the board game. So really Britain and Spain could be emitted entirely, and Austria, Prussia and Turkey are at enforced peace.

Last thing you need is for the AI to decide that Austria & Prussia should go at each other.
