This could lead to some players having little to do for an extended time. If each player has 2 Corps, may be less of a problem.

We didn't have enough players to run the whole thing, so we used 3 Corps a side, I think, and that gave a good test of the combat with SN, and the process of moving from table to table. When we run it this year, yes definitely the victory conditions will be known, the players will know their deployments and have a scouting report about the enemy's likely dispositions. I have in mind to give the opposing sides one of several possible options for altering some parameters of the campaign for their side.

You may notice that we are currently planning a much updated version in about 2 months. The forces will be somewhat different, and the starting positions won't be published until the AAR. I have several twists in mind there anyway.
