Napoleonic Wargame Club (NWC)

THE POLL IS CLOSED:

The winners were:

First: 1807 - Polish Campaign
Second: 1813 (first and second place votes were totaled)
Third: Peninsular Campaign

---text of poll----

Ok - there are still quite a few campaigns that we can do. Which ones most interest you?

Here are several that have yet to be done:

1794 - Rev War campaign in Europe
1796-97 - campaign in Europe and Bonaparte in Italy
1798-99 Egypt/Europe
1800 - Germany/Italy
1807 - Polish Campaign
1808-09 Russo-Swedish War (this probably would not be a stand-alone game)
1808-1814 Peninsular Campaigns
1813 Leipzig Campaign
1814 French Campaign (and 1813-14 Italian Campaign)

and for the obscure

Russo-Turkish Campaigns (and toss in the Austrians if you like vs. the Turks)

British vs. Spanish, French and Dutch (Empire Battles) - this would be anything from the French in Haiti to the British taking Cape Town Colony to the unsuccessful bid for Britian to take Buenos Aires and also the Wars of South American Liberation - this one might be better covered under the EAW series OR we could use the company/squadron scale as seen in Wagram and Waterloo.

French Liberation of Ireland

Napoleon in Louisiana (abdicates and sets up his empire in New Orleans working with Lafitte and company)

Wellington in India

1815 - the War That Might Have Been - if Napoleon had not sailed over from Elba things might have reached the powder keg stage in Europe. Would see Austria vs. Russia with Prussia and England choosing sides as diplomacy dictates. See the vaunted battle worthy cossacks face off against the Kaiser Cuirassiers![:D]

(2) 1813 Leipzig Campaign
(3) 1796-97 - campaign in Europe and Bonaparte in Italy

(7) 1794 - Rev War campaign in Europe
(8)1798-99 Egypt/Europe

Wellington in India (and all the other Brits in india up until the brits start using rifles) would be interesting.

The Peninsula, 1814, 1800 and 1797-97 are the size battles I have time for these days so that give them more weight in my opinion...

But I guess we will

Colin - HAHA!! Sure, they are all coming out this Friday. Keep the plastic handy .... [;)]

Thanks for the feedback so far. Helps me to know which title to work on more perhaps than others.

Hi Bill...our own bucket list [:)] !!

1808-1814 Penninsular Campaign
1813 Leipzig Campaign
1807 Polish Campaign
1814 French Campaign (and 1813-14 Italian Campaign)

I'd buy all those but the others...mmmmm not so much.

However - One thing if you do the Penninsular war you must improve the British moral some way, as was done with the Russians for NRC..which I personally think the golden moral is a bit too powerful and should be offset by a reduction in russian firepower effect (muskets!) and an increase in french artillery effect (quality over russian quantity!).
See my comments in the moral post Im about to do.

Thanks for all your great work [:)]

In priority order:

1813 Leipzig Campaign
1807 - Polish Campaign
1796-97 - campaign in Europe and Bonaparte in Italy

Personally I think Leipzig 1813 will be the most interesting with best variety in terms of units, nations involved, battles size. After all this epic campaign was the decisive one which broke the back of the Empire.

Peninsular Campaigns might be not that interesting as Napoleon, and best French army units were absent.

My vote is for the 1807 Polish Campaign. This campaign offers many challenges,especially weather and supply as well as a number of interesting actions in small, medium and large battles. There are also many strategic challenges fot both sides. Bill

Bill,
I am definately feel that a Eylau-Friedland game would be real cool. Bad roads, lousy weather and fairly even forces. Should make a good challenging game especially if we can have large map scenarios.
