Home Depot(s)

The Winter 1807 Campaign is just 15 days away now, and we need some markers for supply Depots. Each side will have a small number of these, which will serve as the terminus of their line of communications/supply route.

  I made these from of set of Renedra plastic sacks acquired at Historicon last year, some square MDF bases from Litko, white glue and some flock. We decided that it needed to be obvious to the players what they were if they encountered one on the table, hence the subtle labeling!

Over exposed and color balance off due to bright AM sunshine today, but still a useful close up of the simple construction. 

Various markers can be placed in the depot space for extra visual appeal. I think the wolf marker denotes a looted Depot, though!

With Napoleon and Bennigsen in Poland, January 1807

The Snappy Nappy Winter 1807 Campaign

On the Russian/Polish Frontier in Eastern Poland, Mid-January 1807

In the last four months Napoleon and the French have been spectacularly successful, smashing the Prussian army at the twin battles of Jena and Auerstadt in October 1806, then pursuing and destroying the remnants of the once proud Prussian army all across Prussia and Poland. The Czar attempted to intervene in aid of his Prussian ally but in recent weeks was rudely hustled out of Poland by the French. Now Napoleon is settling his troops into winter quarters along the Russian frontier in the 175 mile strip of land between Koenigsburg in the north and Warsaw in the south. The French formations are battered and badly in need of rest and reinforcements. While his reputation stands supreme on the Continent, Napoleon knows that he has failed to bring the Russians to heel, and a victory on their part could reinvigorate his enemies.

Player Map for the Campaign (Slightly revised 4/23/16)

The Orders of Battle that follow are approximate, and will depend upon the number of players participating. Generally, each player will command a French Corps or an Allied "Division". The Commander and Chief for each side will also have their respective Guard units as a personal command (although that could be delegated if there are large numbers of participants). As if today we have 14 confirmed players, and expect to add a number more in the next 3 weeks before the day of the game on Sunday May, 1 2016.

French OB

Special Guard Rules: Only Napoleon can command an Imperial Guard Unit, though a Guard unit out of command distance from Napoleon (18")
can always attempt to roll its morale to do a normal move; if fail, as with other out of command units, it may only change face and formation.
Supply: When a Supply Check occurs, any Guard unit on the table must be fed before any non-Guard unit.

As this game is going to include supply, and may need as many as 20 supply wagons for each side, it was clear we'd never have enough model wagons, even if we used some limbers as stand ins. So, after looking at and discussing other options, I made a bunch of Wagon markers using photos of my 28mm wagons glued onto 1 x 1.75' Litko 3mm MDF bases. I chose a different image, facing a different way for Russian and French wagons, and also painted the bare wood edges light green or light blue respectively. 

21 Russian markers

21 French markers

42 all together!

There are also a few fortified towns on the map... 

My friend Chuck from high school, college, and beyond hand made this castle/fortress out of plywood, etc, back in the early 1970's. It was originally intended for use with the figures from the old game, "Feudal", hence the holes. 

It has been sitting in my basement unused for at least 25 years now, but this campaign gives me an excuse to haul it out. It was originally painted black, so I hit it with a fresh coat of flat grey spray paint. Looks pretty presentable as is, I think. 

Levin August von Bennigsen (1745 - 1826), by George Dawe, 1820.

    I know that Greg has been making hills, etc for the many individual tables we will be using as well, and James has been putting the finishing touches on the scenario itself. This should be great! It looks like I may be playing Bennigsen (the Russian C-in-C) for the game. By coincidence I will be almost the same age that he was at Eylau.  In that case, I hope I don't screw up too badly for Russia and the Czar. I hear that it is cold in Poland in January... bur much colder in Siberia!
