Hi Everyone, I have done a final wrap up of the 1859 campaign that my group and I have been running.
Take a look here: link
Thanks for looking. |

Looks good. Did the campaign treat the Hapsburg and Italian armies as basically equal? |

No. The Italians had fewer units available. 23 Italian to 30 Austrian. The mechanics of Piquet, the card system was a little better for the Austrians ie. less dress line cards (essentially a card that makes you waste impetus). The Austrian generals seemed to come out on top with each game for their ranking. Usually Average to Superior, while the Italians were stuck with Average generals.
This was based on a d20 die roll before each game. The campaign system builds into it a point where an army will start to grind itself apart if it losses to many times and so on. For the Austrians, it was the two crushing defeats that started to hurt them. |

It looks like you took the GMT map [Great to have the map, though damned ugly] and copied it to black and white. How did you do that? |

Yes, it is the GMT map. I took it to Fedex/Kinkos and threw it on their large plotter/copier. Cost about $5 USD a copy. Color copies would have been around $8 USD something. Made three copies. |
