I am working on another game for John Tiller Software in the Napoleonic Battles series - this game will be a companion title to Campaign Marengo covering the battles in France, the Austrian Netherlands, Switzterland, Bavaria, Holland and the Rhineland. Battles such as Valmy, Bergen, Fleurus, 1st and 2nd Zurich, Hohenlinden, Neerwinden, Jemappes, Neresheim and Kaiserlautern will be inclued. The usual campaigns will be included as well. I just finished work on the 1796 Rhine campaign where Jourdan and Moreau were defeated on separate fronts by an energetic Archduke Charles and two Austrian armies. Another campaign I finished covers the early battles of the War of the First Coalition (basically from Valmy to Fleurus).
While Campaign Marengo had a little over 70 artwork images this new title has over 230! Not only are the early French army uniforms represented but many of the National Guard units are as well. The French and Austrian hussars have unique images for each regiment. There are British, Dutch Republic, Batavian Republic, Bavarian, Saxon, Prussian, Austrian, French, Swiss, Polish, Hanoverian, Hesse-Kassel, Hesse-Darmstadt and French Emigre' units included. Add in a the French balloons as well (portrayed in the game as ships ... they were present at Fleurus for the first time in military use).
I have built over 18 battles at this point. Lack of data on some of the battles such as both Battle of Biberach (1796 and 1800) and some of the other minor battles has caused me to possibly leave those out. I have built maps for the battlefields for several of these type battles. Wetzlar 1796, Limburg 1796 and others are on my list of battles to build. I just need more solid OB info to feel safe about putting up a battle scenario.
The status on the game: its very mature. I am hoping to have it out before Winter 2017. Any historical help would be appreciated. In fact if you think you could help me finish some of these battles I would be happy to give you a free copy of the game when its finished. I need folks that can read German, French or other languages to help me compile OB files. If you think you have the time please contact me via the forum!
