Gents,

I've cobbled together some thoughts on campaigning and utilising an ingenious narrative campaign method tweaked for purpose.

I've based our campaign in the Seven Years War based on the 1759 French offensive in Western Germany.

The initial post describes the campaign, with the follow on post kicking off the campaign and with the first battle having been fought.

We have found this a most useful campaign method for running and organising for structured scenario play based on real forces theatre. Really the only thing missing is a map and cunning map moves all of which can require a burden on campaign organisers that often result in campaigns fizzling out.

I trust they'll be some useful ideas in there.

Cheers

Happy Wanderer

I really like this type of simplified campaign system to give added depth to tabletop battles. Thanks for the post.

Gents,

The campaign continues. The second battle has been fought. This time between the Hessians under the command of Ferdinand of Brunswick and the Saxon foreign contingent in Marshal Contades French army.

Lots of action and pics…

Enjoy

Lot of action in this one with a few twists and turns…
