Have it (of course) and so far am enjoying it greatly.
As usual, I'm focusing on the campaigns, though I'll move to the set battles at some point. The "wide campaign" seems to be the most popular one, though the French are showing a distressing tendency to take the Mons option.

Yeah, if the Frogs go through Mons and the Allies concentrate on the Charleroi approach they are going to be in a difficult situation.
When time permits I'd like to get a multi-player game going using one of the Hypothetical setups I created, towards the end of the scenario list. Probably v7, 8 or 9.

Actually, am playing the "big one", and I took the "defend Mons" option, and the Froggies took the Mons road, and I still feel out of place. (Though a fair chunk of that was getting a bunch of cav trapped in that triangle south of Mons with that cursed tree lined road.

Dierk trounced me pretty good there too...you have to pull back pretty quickly once you realize the French have chosen that rout, then concentrate your forces as quickly as possible.
I sent a Corps of Prussians towards Mons to threaten the French flank & rear...that's a good way to divert at least some of their offensive force.

Hey Mark,
That order should have been processed on Monday if Scott didn't get bogged down in other things. So you should have it soon!
We'll see what we can work up on the MP side.

Not to stop you from doing this, but be aware that WARS doesn't support that as of now.rahamy said:

Yes, 2 or more players per side. Each side has an overall commander who's in charge of making sure the game files keep moving. Can post more later if people are interested, gotta crash now. :bored:
Brent - not a problem, we can just register it as 2 (or more) seperate games, pairing off 1 person from each team at a time.

Yeah, you can divvy up the forces however you like in an multiplayer game.
For instance, you could play the full Ligny/Quatre Bras, with one player doing the Prussians, and another doing the English.
