Out of a meager 13 VPs, 9 have been at Wagram. So, there is my vote for favorite. |

too new to have a favorite. but I do like the the look and feel of the Waterloo maps and counters. that's with the artwork updates.........really sharp looking. my other two games (Jena and Austerlitz) counters do not have that look. |

Alternate artwork exists for those games. You just have to download the Austerlitz mod (for instance) that EZJAX put up on his site (if you can get to it ....). I think that some folks have copies of it in case the site is down. Just post a note about it on the forum. Someone will help you out. |

I selected Leipzig. It is the campaign I find most interesting and it is done very, very well. But really, they are all really good and I keep going back to all of them (unlike the American Civil War or Panzer games, where some titles I probably will not return to). Even NRC, which I find frustrating at times, keeps me coming back. For a while, I thought Wagram was a bit below the rest and the Bill P rebuked me and told me to try it again (this was something like 3 or 4 years ago) and indeed, it has risen in my estimation and I havec 3 or 4 scenarios on my want to play list. So really, I am a fan of all of the games in this series... |

"and the Bill P rebuked me" ... but in kindness ...  I was thinking about Wagram today. Of the games I worked on I play it the least and should probably play more from it. I have a Cham battle going and we are into the 12th turn or so. But I have not played "the big one" for some time. The one day Wagram scenario still is one of my favorite situations even if it is a bit stiff to win as the Allies. |

I checked the EZJAX files for Jena and Austerlitz and they are 3d files only. There are no 2d mods for units. |

Monsieur my best game is Jena 1806 the French glory years 1809 is bon as well a French player most be very bon to play 1812 forward and 1813 well we know the Emperor got his worst Armee in the field but they did bon but in the end beat back to France 1815 is so it most be played with the hope that you can beat the Prussian first. 1805 is not the best to moi the Emperor did great there because the Allies did so bad but this game the Allies will kick his behind back to France but Ulm the Austrians don't stand a chance. An if any Allied player whats to meet me in any one of them you know the swamp rat is always ready Tu Armes ! |

Jena Leipzig Austerlitz I think the 10 minute turns and movement rates in these titles offeres the best pacing out of any games in the series. |

- Eckmuhl / Wagram (as they are both the 1809 era) - Jena - Austerlitz honorable mention to NRC as I enjoy the 1812 period but the game mechanics do not compare to the above games |

I'm agreeing with Bardon, the 10 minute turns are good. I like Waterloo, but would really like it at 10 minutes. Jena or Auerstadt would be my fav since we don't have Eylau (yet). .... of course I'm a modder and like the table top type stuff so smaller battles work nicely. |

I am a convert to 10 minute turns. I had squadrons in my Campaign Waterloo scenarios a long time ago. I will convert them to ten minute turns, and churn out a new one or two when the game is updated. The recent engine updates have made for a better game. My scenarios for Campaign Waterloo used to be my most Played, now it is Campaign Leipzig. |
