There are two complicating considerations. 1. I have a good campaign map of central Germany already, used for a postal campaign years ago that I don't think got off the ground. The other is a fictitious 'Pyrenees counter-offensive' map more suited to my 'Corsican Ogre' rule set. I'll do a posting on those, later.<br />Cheers,<br />ionArchduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650770985225450559.post-47534148219199986382016-10-20T14:44:12.544-07:002016-10-20T14:44:12.544-07:00Hi Ion,

Could it be used to Napoleonic in central Germany ? You idea of a war with small table rules is more appealing every day.<br /><br />CheersJackohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01156243437690752780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650770985225450559.post-70117712218253775642016-10-20T13:16:18.887-07:002016-10-20T13:16:18.887-07:00What i have in mind for the map above is something...What i have in mind for the map above is something very like that, with each city representing the hubs of its hinterland. But it has occurred to me that almost any kind of campaign could be adapted to this format (or vice versa). I realised that you could just about play DIPLOMACY or WARLORD/APOCALYPSE types of games. A SHOGUN type of game would also work. That is going to make my next posting a bit hard to write, actually...<br />Archduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650770985225450559.post-58270189513442392342016-10-20T09:04:17.506-07:002016-10-20T09:04:17.506-07:00One of the most successful campaigns that I've...One of the most successful campaigns that I've been part of was a Punic Wars campaign played on a map if Sicily divided into areas. When one side entered an enemy held scenario, a random scenario was rolled up. A player could only field as many units as the scenario allowed but also no more than what he had in the area. For example in one case a large invading force rolled up a convoy ambush, lost and was forced to withdraw, in other cases small defensive force was so over match that they ceded the area without wasting a Friday night. Other times a pitched battle was gought. Each turn was 1 season with control of areas and cities contributing to troop numbers for the next campaign season.

A very interesting blog entry.
...Archduke Piccolo,<br /><br />A very interesting blog entry.<br /><br />I am currently thinking about a Napoleonic campaign, and what you have described will be of great help in my deliberations. I look forward to reading more about this in the future.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.com
