The supply rules had an important but not decisive impact upon the campaign. I think this scenario could easily be run yet again.

As you say, the supply rules played their part without turning the whole campaign into a logistical slog. I did feel quite sorry for Beresford however, who never struck me as one of the luckiest generals anyway. Not a nice way to end his part in the campaign.Lawrence Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11626386564817082992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-30773690276151869602018-08-03T21:20:45.455-04:002018-08-03T21:20:45.455-04:00Glad to hear it, and thanks for dropping by!Glad to hear it, and thanks for dropping by!Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-46002432434782617182018-08-03T21:17:57.328-04:002018-08-03T21:17:57.328-04:00Well done, I have enjoyed this a great dealWell done, I have enjoyed this a great dealJackohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01156243437690752780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-12319533062963704132018-08-03T21:13:10.693-04:002018-08-03T21:13:10.693-04:00Thanks for your enthusiastic support!Thanks for your enthusiastic support!Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-25250119175831047002018-08-03T21:12:38.109-04:002018-08-03T21:12:38.109-04:00Thanks!

You could easily re-do one of the events we have already run. With some minor changes to the starting location and different players, it could play out completely differently.... as it did in this case!Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-59977287223876422002018-08-03T21:09:29.563-04:002018-08-03T21:09:29.563-04:00Thanks, Jon.
