"Since I've already just done Hohenlinden, the battle that really ended the War of the Second Coalition in this fateful year (1800, not 2020--that's another fateful year), I thought it only right that I render a study of its bookend battle, Marengo, the putative victory that cemented Napoleon's hold on power. This battle has a special place in my heart. Some years ago, my new bride and I made a side trip at the end of our Italian honeymoon to visit and walk the battlefield (to her boundless patience, pretending to be fascinated). And it's a battle I have gamed many times, on both board and sand table. So it's important, not just to Napoleonophiles, but to me personally….!

Thank you, Tango! As always his maps are beautiful! I really wish I could learn how to create maps like these. |

>>MarbotsChasseurs Suggest you get in touch and just ask him. He is/was in PR after all, has given lots of clues as to how he manages his 'interests' etc. He sells high res versions of maps which I would purchase had I the need. regards d |

Good to see so many participants in the early uniforms (even if it might have been more impressive to have all the French Infantry deployed in one unit rather than distributed in so many little groups). The earlier post has great detail, too; thanks again. ""*[//]) {> !!!! |
