North Germany Strategic
Map
I
have completed the revision of the 1813 campaign to convert it from PBEM back
to Solo.
There
are still five campaign areas, three in Germany and two in Spain. But in future I will run a mini campaign in
each area in sequence. The first will
be set in northern Germany and will be Napoleon v Blucher.
The
strategic map shows the whole of north Germany, with the Magdeburg campaign
area outlined in white. Each square on
this map is 15x15 miles, which is one days march, it is also the area of a
wargames table.
When
it was a PBEM campaign I had to be careful not to give too much information
away to the players. Now that it is solo
I do not have to worry about that. So
the campaign diary will have much more information available both in the
introduction and on the daily reports.
Hopefully this will make it easier to follow the development of the
campaign
Magdeburg Tactical Map
This
map shows the opening positions of the four French and four Prussian
corps. Each square is 5x5 miles and is
one 2x2 foot square on the wargames table.
There are sufficient scenic squares to duplicate any possible map
battle. 5x5 squares make up the
wargames table.
The
introduction to the Magdeburg campaign is now on the Campaign Diary Blog. It includes a short summary of the 1813
campaign, shortened orders of battle for the French and Prussians and the
campaign objective. It also has links
to much more information about the main campaign. This includes detailed orders of battle,
wargame and campaign rules.
Each
mini campaign should last about 10 campaign days and provide 2-4 battles to
wargame.
I
hope to provide sufficient information to allow anyone to fight the campaign
themselves, using their own wargame rules.
I
also hope that the three or four weekly diary posts, plus the battle reports,
will make it easier for anyone who would like to follow each mini campaign.
