The Other Napoleonic Wars

[Pat Proctor]

Gents,

An article I wrote, called "The Other Napoleonic Wars," has just been published at ArmchairGeneral.com. You can read it here:

I would be very interested to hear what you think. Comments are welcome. Just respond in this thread.

The Napoleonic era has been simulated many times over at the battle level, but rarely in the grand strategic arena. McLaughlin made such an attempt in Avalon Hill's .

This point-to-point grand strategic simulation of most of the Napoleonic Era (1805-1815) is a design with both old and new elements. There are the usual counters, a

map similar to that used in GMT's (winner in our Historical Simulation category last year), and cards that drive the mechanics. Even the units are generic (risk-

like). Added to these familiar components is a change in scale and a strong diplomatic content, making the game a true multiplayer gem. You'll be rigorously challenged

to use your resources (Activation and Event cards) optimally.
