As of now I have 8 players signed up; Nine is pretty much the absolute minimum to run the event (with the troops around Mantua static until something happens there, and one active player a side acting as C-in-C as well). So we need at least one more player, and three more would be ideal (allows C-in-C to focus on overall command).
Any and all interested, please email me at your convenience Gonsalvo AT aol DOT com

Many Roads to Mantua: Northern Italy, January 1797
A Snappy Nappy Campaign in a Day event, based upon the Rivoli Campaign
The relatively unknown French General, Naploeone Buonaparte, burst upon the world scene with his rapid conquest of Northern Italy in then Spring of 1796, culminating in the siege of the great fortress of Mantua. Three Austrian attempts to relieve the siege have failed by the narrowest of margins. The garrison there is beset by disease and starvation, and cannot hold out much longer. Both the French and the Austrians know that the fourth and final attempt to relieve the siege will decide the fate of Northern Italy, and perhaps the War of the Second Coalition against revolutionary France.

The event will be played across multiple tables with multiple players each commanding roughly a Division of troops. Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic,. We ask that all players be fully immunized against COVID (honor system), and due to the delta variant, the wearing of masks is strongly encouraged (required if required by The Portal or the State of Connecticut at the time of event).
Event limited to 11 players and 2 alternates, also due to infection control issues.
