So they say, time shared with other projects is what I read

Played a Empire game once! My unit never moved or fired all game. That is why I never played it again.

Back somewhere on this very Thread series, I only have large Prussian and Russian armies, small but substantial British/ allies and a division of Bavarians. They are on the Russian side and in a battle refused to move. Commenting on it at least 1 person stated quite possibly on purpose ( though of course it was the dice not allowing them to advance.
Units large and small often didn't move more many reasons.

We all had a lot more time back then.

A new version of Empire would probably sell well, purely for nostalgia's sake. I'd probably buy it for that reason, with no intention of ever playing. And maybe that's reason enough. But I doubt there are very many people anymore who would actually attempt to play it.

And if it were streamlined down to a modern 3-hour style game, then it wouldn't be Empire, and that would ruin the nostalgia factor.

Lifestyle game.

Everywhere I've lived (3 states) there have been vibrant Empire groups. We play multi corps games to a conclusion in an afternoon. I look forward to Empire 7 if and when it comes out. Till then I'll continue to have fun.

Just an update:

I talked with Scott Bowden this week and he is still working on the multi-volume book series of the 1815 Campaign and also continuing work on the Empire 7 project and all its parts. No release date as of yet.

Has play testing on Empire 7 started?

Froglidite03 Oct 2023 5:38 p.m. PST

I am not aware of any formal playtesting at this time. There may be some out there, I just don't know about it.

Rosenberg04 Oct 2023 7:03 a.m. PST

You could ask Scott Bowden

14Bore07 Oct 2023 2:21 p.m. PST

Still waiting, not going anywhere else since III came out

tvlamb01 Nov 2023 9:02 a.m. PST

The group that has the most info on Empire 7 is Facebook group Alan D. Simmons Empire Napoleonic War Game Rules Discussion Forum. Have to request membership.

Valmy9209 Nov 2023 5:49 a.m. PST

When I looked that group up just now, it appears I applied for membership long enough ago that I had forgotten. Still showing as pending. Maybe someday…
