Campaign Austerlitz#24A-HTH-Moravia -
CLOSED Thank you, Garret.
250 Turns10-12 December 1805 - Alternate - Historically, Charles' army was
never able to make a union with Alexander because of the latter's
decision to force a battle before they could join forces. What
if Alexander had waited for Charles and Napoleon had used the
time to bring up more forces? The assumption is that Charles
would have sidestepped Vienna by way of Pressburg and then to
Austerlitz. Massena would have marched via Vienna and arrived
later for the battle. Various forces in and around Vienna would
have been called up for the battle. Should be played Head-to-Head.
Campaign Jena-Auerstadt#11x_Karlsburg-
CLOSED Thank you, Bob Hughes.
325 Turns21 October 1806 - (What-if) Napoleon has embarked upon a bold
plan of campaign. He marches through Strausland in hopes of bringing
the Allies to battle on favorable terms. His staunch cavalry
commander, Murat, is sent ahead to reconnoiter the situation but
instead partakes of a wild ride around the Allied armies assembled
to the east. Thus, Napoleon is out of touch with the situation
for a full 48 hours. Meanwhile, the Prussians were trying to
keep pace with Napoleon's march around their right flank. With
the Russians marching over from Hauptstadt, Brunswick knew that
he must hold off Napoleon until reinforcements could arrive.
His wing had to buy time for the rest of the Allies to assemble
and bring their superior numbers to bear. And thus, as Ney's corps
marched down the Augustburg road to destiny the stage was set
for one of the most famous battles of lore - Karlsburg! Best
played head-to-head.
Campaign EylauCAMP-004_Second-Eylau_HTH CLOSED Thank you, Todd Hively
80 Turns
12 June 1807 - Campaign - Intended to be played Head-to-Head
- In this large operational battle scenario, the French are advancing
on Eylau. The Russians have taken up a position to the north.
Both sides have plenty of time and space to work with.
[b]Bonaparte's Peninsula War140.Rolica_to_Vimeiro-
CLOSED Thank you Mike Davies.
120 TurnsThis 120 turn "what if" scenario starts with the situation at
Rolica on 17th August but allows the various reinforcements to
arrive far earlier than they did historically, since otherwise
the scenario would be an unplayable 360 turns long with many
troops not arriving until almost the end. Some additional French
troops available to Junot but not historically present have been
included for play-balance. While there's no certainty that the
decisive action will be fought in the vicinity of Vimeiro, various
factors may nevertheless make this a distinct possibility.
I reserve all rights to whine and moan. It probably means you're winning.
