Many of the Peninsular campaigns would be easy to adapt to this format -with some Guerillas thrown in to make things miserable for the French!Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-76339633583065241892015-05-06T13:04:46.747-04:002015-05-06T13:04:46.747-04:00Thanks; Glad you enjoyed it!Thanks; Glad you enjoyed it!Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-61560100422560029552015-05-06T05:29:01.254-04:002015-05-06T05:29:01.254-04:00Very enjoyable, and fascinating to read the invent...Very enjoyable, and fascinating to read the inventively-written accounts from the French participants. <br /><br />I particularly like the idea of the "soak-off" provision for British troops for the campaign, as I was wondering how you were going to handle the British potentially having their supply lines cut when that seemed a possibility a couple of posts ago.<br /><br />The non-sequential layout of the tables was also a great idea given that it naturally creates its own fog-of-war. I'll look forward to pouring through the above again in a bit more detail tomorrow, and also to the forthcoming British accounts.

The individual player reports are always fascinating to read because they each have a very different perspective!<br /><br />We learned a lot form the two [previous events, and I had excellent assistance from James and Greg as my assistant GM's. It also really kicks the campaign up a notch when there are army commanders without any troops top command, because then they can concentrate on the Big Picture. And as you can see, getting that into reasonable focus isn't easy!Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-50258625376906467322015-05-05T21:56:09.432-04:002015-05-05T21:56:09.432-04:00Very interesting, Peter, especially reading the AA...Very interesting, Peter, especially reading the AAR reports from the various commanders.<br />Quite clever trick to having the tables scattered about with players not knowing which table they might be plopping onto. Nifty mechanism and probably a little anxiety producing as well for the participants.<br /><br />Again, what a massive undertaking to try to maintain what are possibly eleven different games simultaneously. You are a magician! Jonathan Freitaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862373894196924886noreply@blogger.com
