That is looks amazing! We just returned to Napoleonics and are also doing 1809. I'm interested how the campaign turns out as I own the same boardgame and would like to use it as a campaign source myself. Please keep posting how it's going. :) |

I agree. Very interesting. thanks for posting. I have contemplated this idea for use with Zucker's Napoleon at Bay. |

Yes thanks for posting; I will also be running a composite set of battles in this era at What Khan in Rockford IL this October. Timely post! |

Daler240D, I was in a campaign back in the day using Napoleon at Bay. We had a lot of fun. I'd think hard about some things: losing guns in march attrition along with troops. Figure out some simple way to do this. However imperfect it will be, it will beat small units having loads of guns at the end. Trust me on this. Second is some way of representing Napoleon's +2 on battle dice and Blucher's +1. Otherwise the Allies will seek out even odds battles with Napoleon because a tie reduces French morale. And make sure the Allied team understands they will get walloped in the beginning a couple of times. |

I have a quick question involving the research you did on this campaign.
Or rather, a question that you've maybe come across. Ok- on the peninsula of land between the Danube and the Isar- was it really as empty of towns and villages as it looks on maps? Or do the maps jus show the larger towns? Today the entire area of that stage in the campaign is farmland. Was that the case in 1809? Thanks! |
