Marengo Challenge Tournament (2016)
Tournament Questions? Contact Jim Pfluecke at [minsterpfleck at yahoo dot com]
Format:
This is an Army vs Army challenge. Members of the French Army will play the French side and members of the Coalition will play as the Austrians (Associate members please list your preferred side). This will NOT be a mirror match. Each pair of players will play the scenario they choose only once.
Each major victory will count as 2 points for the army of the winning player, with a minor victory counting as 1 points. Whichever army has the most points will gain bragging rights (and perhaps some sort of "prize").
Three scenarios are included to play:
1. Scenario 098 Battle of Marengo. This is one of the most evenly balanced scenarios in any of the games (I tested it 3 times), and makes for a fine scenario to set the French Army against the Coalition. It is 78 turns long.
2. Scenario 108 Third Assault on Marengo Village. This is 28 turns and involves less forces.
3.Scenario 110 Marengo: Napoleon's Counterattack. This is also less turns and involves most of each army (still less than 30,000 men per side).
Optional Rules:
For optional rules, please check all the boxes except for manual defensive fire, no retreat overruns, partial retreats, and multiple infantry melees. If you need help setting this up let me know and I will send you the file to start the game.
