http://johntillersoftware.com/Napoleoni ... ipzig.html The scenario list should be up on the automated system by this week. 2 years, 9 months of solid work went into this game. My team of 14 playtesters worked VERY hard on this title. Please be sure to read the credits to see who helped us out on this one. I will let the website listing tell you the rest. |

Tons of fun putting this one together. Sometime ask me about the Battle of Dresden design work. Warren Bajan and I beat out brains in trying to figure out the chronology of the battle as it is recorded in George Nafziger's Vol II on the campaign "Napoleon at Dresden." Read the Notes.pdf file to get an understanding of what had to be done to get this baby out the door. This was not a project. This was an expedition! This dragoon is ready for a long vacation!

Oh yes, I used to live on that map. It is easy to pick out if you know what "William" is in French. How bad is my French, David? I tried using an online translator and maybe that was not enough. The roads are of course made up. If you drove there today it is a "farm road" grid that has become subdivisions. I loved living down there and felt bad having to move up to North Boise but funds got low and the rent was high there. Plus I like it up here as I am minutes from the bus stop and also the lovely Greenbelt by the river. Yes, I may do a map of North Boise next complete with the governor's mansion! This all in revenge for Ernie's potato puns. Will teach him to make fun of Idaho. We are not internationally Napoleonic famous!

Additional screenshots for the game at: http://myweb.cableone.net/williampeters ... reens.html I will continue to post more as the week goes on. Just hit "Refresh" each time you go up there to see more links. Sorry about the lack of "window dressing" for the page but I did not have a lot of time to work on it. I might spruce it up a bit later this week. |

Small planning map for the large Battle of Leipzig situations (known as Operational Leipzig) can be seen here. The larger version (its huge) can be zoomed in almost down to hex view using a graphics viewing program such as Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. The Halle-Leipzig map is 724 x 457 hexes in size. Only outdone by the Berlin Operational map (723 x 694 hexes) which I show below the planning map.

Bill, A true Godsend that this came out and the work you poured into it was amazing! To witness firsthand for the past year and a half to two every energy and effort you put into this. The supporting documentation, the historical research, the debates and discussions on units et al. PLUS! Very much improved 3D graphics! I commend you and if you don't win an award I will personally show up at their door at 3am and scream Vorwärts! Mein Kinder, Vorwärts, until you get one.....  Just skimming over it, this might be the finest game you have made to date! A true craftsmans work....  I am very blessed to have been a very small part.....  Another song for the day! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5ab0Bgb1zU |

That's what i love about this club a bunch of guys who really love the Napoleonic period (Scott is even crazier than me). I have wargamed a number of periods but to me nothings matches this one. The uniforms, the armies, the great struggles and the great warlord himself. And now we have the struggle of the nations to play with. I can see a large MP game of leipzig the 4 dayer coming soon. Well done Bill and company |
