I don't know how many people have played these scenarios yet, but it would be useful to get a bit of feedback to see if folks liked them and if any improvements might be made, and if it would be worthwhile to create some additional scenarios or perhaps set up a tournament at some point if there's sufficient interest.

The scenarios fall into several sections - some long with lots of units, other short with only a handful - so it's quite possible that someone might like one type of scenario and dislike another.


(Perhaps this could be made a sticky?)

Ive played a few now. Very short and quick to play. The Historical Hougomont I'd say was well nigh impossible for the French, the hedges are like fortress walls.

Phillip Chimara (playing French) has managed to beat me in a 12 turn Hougoumont scenario (078.Co_Hougo6var), routing the farmhouse defenders right at the last minute. It was a very close game and might have gone either way.

I think they give a much better feel for the detailed actions, like Hougomont & Plancenoit, etc. that the regular scenarios don't capture.

Richard W.- the Historical Hougomont does not have any objectives so no point routing the defenders.

I am beginning to discover the comnpany level scenarios and so far they're pretty fun. I've played some of the Hypothetical Corps vs. Corps scenarios and I liked them as well. [8D]

I have noted some miniscule issues like Legere unit images for Ligne units (and vice a versa,) but nothing big. Overall, I give it a 9.9 out of 10 rating.

More scenarios are ALWAYS a big plus. [8D]

My sword is up in salute to the designers. Thanks guys. The next round is on me. [:)]

I've only really had a chance to open them up to look at them so far but it all looks very good and was well worth the effort put in. Thanks to the designers for this. I can see several years of game play in this title.

Great, that's what we aimed for. [:)]

Since there is so much interest in this I plan on adding in a few Aspern-Essling scenarios on the company level. The small 5-10 turn affairs that center around taking the Granary or the Aspern church.

[:D] Really enjoy the scale. Actually I prefer it to the normal games. Bit like 1776 and 1812.
