I'm curious if there anyone still play this game? it covers all the Napoleonics battles.
In fact I‘m seeking if there is anyone interest in playing Marengo?

Sir, The NWC plays all of the JT Napoleonic Campaign games. Unfortunately, I do not believe that Marengo in 1800 has been addressed in the series. The earliest Campaign Series is Austerlitz which is in 1805. There may be some mods available for Marengo which I am not aware of. I am sure that others here at NWC can offer a more definitive response. My best, |

If you wish to play the Old Battleground series you can down load scenario from Napoleonic Archives. But I for one have never played any it or installed any of the series. I believe they will not work in Windows 7, the newer versions from Matrix will work, but I do not think the add on scenarios work with the Matrix version. Battle On... |

As administrator of the Napoleonic Archives (it's my site) I can assure that the Battleground Series work just magnificently in Windows 7. I've heard Windows 8 though has problems, though don't know that first hand. Battleground Add-on "Marengo" I've played several times many years ago from both the French and the Austrian side. For the French you must implement a strictly economical Fighting Withdrawal while waiting for the arrival of Nappy in the afternoon with additional troops. As the Austrian, you must attack early and hard but keep several key units behind the line in preparation for the later arrival of Nappy. As Austrian, quickly move your light cavalry as far across the bridge on first turn as possible creating a screen to hide the sequence and order of battle of the rest of your troops. For the French, it is VERY important to race up and occupy the orchard/forest hexes to the left side (south & west?) of the bridge area. This causes the Austrian a lot of mischief and threatens the flank, and get a few infantry battalions up into the narrow ismus just in front of the bridge -- this can cause a lot of delay to the Austrian when crossing the bridges. As French, use the rivers (several if I recall) that run parallel to your natural line of defense a bit further back than the bridges. Who ever designed the game (Italian guys I think) did a very accurate realistic job with the morale and unit images. That is unlike some of the other older NiR work where the weakest French unit in an OOB is "5" morale and "6" and "7" are most common. Compare those older NiR add-ons (not including Marengo) to HPS games of similar eras and you'll see the morales much different. Also the Matrix CD works just great. Anyway, enough said! Marengo is a good game in NiR addon in Battleground (Matrix) game system. I recommend it.

Thanks for you all. I know about JT's Battleground Napoleonic War just a few weeks ago from matrix Game, and found the amazing work by Dragoon! http://nap.phxsim.com/downloads/ It works very well in Win7, but the game ai is not so good in my mind. |
