Napoleonic Card Game?
Is there any interest out there in a card game of the campaigns of Napoleon?
Briefly, each campaign you are dealt an objective card; your goal is to march to your objective; along the way there are obstacles, enemy formations and other annoyances; when an objective is reached, the campaign is over and points are totaled.
A full game is three campaigns (Austerlitz 1805, Prussian campaign 1806 and the Polish campaign 1806-'07); each campaign takes about 45 minutes to an hour;
The game is for 2-8 players (the more the better) and is played entirely with cards and four six-sided dice; it is rather complex for a card game, but it plays quickly and there is plenty of player interaction.
All the pertinent information about each card is printed on the card.
Any comments and/or questions would be appreciated.

Sounds like similar to CoA's Eagles card game on the Napoleonics.

I'm still tinkering around the edges, Jim, but for the most part the design is complete; I am simply wondering if there is a market for this sort of game; wargamers tell me they like it, casual gamers, not so much.

That sounds like a lot of fun. How far along are you with the design?
