The best campaign map I've seen is the one of Saxony that came with the Empire Campaign System rules that was published decades ago. Is there a source of other campaign maps of that quality available anywhere else? I have a large two piece map that came from a US board game on the Russian campaign but it was covered with icons etc relating to the game which was distracting. Any suggestions? |

This is a large collection of maps, but they are not 100% accurate. I did use them to run a Napoleonic Campaign in Poland between France and an Allied Coalition of Austrians, Prussians and Russians. They worked very well for me. murat.ca/maps.htm |

Thanks Major Mike. What is the scale? |

For me, I used the scale that a grid on the map equaled a 2' x 2' square on the battlefield. As units maneuver on the campaign map, no more than a Corps in any square, once enemy forces occupied adjacent squares, a battle developed. The side with initiative got to determine which 6 map squares made up the 4'x6' battlefield. Units in the squares chosen were deployed on the battlefield. Units in adjacent square were available as possible reinforcements. |

Thanks Major Mike. How many squares can Infantry cavalry and Artillery travel through in a day's march. Richard |

The rule of thumb I used was infantry/artillery 1 square a day and cavalry were 2 squares. If they were following a major road on the map, they moved a little faster and if the weather was bad they moved slower. |
