Hello all,I just figured out a way to play Vassal games against other players who don't know Vassal but know ACD2 or ZunTzu. Here's the way:I place my opening set-up units on the Vassal map and open…Continue

Greetings Joe:
Yes, you are pretty much correct, given the tournament arrangements as we corrently understand them. Obviously, if the decision to weight German and Soviet victories differently is made, for example, then point differentials would (in theory) show up more quickly and the rounds would probably proceed at a faster pace. But, who knows? The difficulty in most "Swiss" tournaments usually comes after the first few rounds because, depending on the number of tournament participants remaining, additional points typically have to be added (based on win-loss records) to reflect the difficulty of the various players' schedules. In reality, however, I don't look for any of this to be too complicated as, frankly, I do not expect to see the kind of large field that you might encounter in a WAS or VITP tournament at the WBC.
In any case, although I will not have a lot of time to personally devote to this project (for better or for worse, the blog comes first), I suspect that Ed Menzel, who is familiar with the "Swiss" format, will be glad to lend you a hand, if you decide that you need one.
Best regards, Joe
Joe,
Thanks for the quick response.
1) I need the consolidated Leader Reference Chart that shows the order of who has priority over whom for premption. The Campaign games have them printed on the series rules but there are discrepancies and missing leaders. For example Ney and Murat are both rated as "5" and on Russian Campaign Ney is listed first but on Peninsula Murat is listed first. Also, some of the leaders for the Battle scenarios are different than the larger game.
2) I agree on the rule about Nappy getting a free move to Paris when replaced. Too hard to get him around the board with time to do much.
3) I played a lot of this in the 80's when it came out and want to give it another go so I may have some additional questions about this very under-rated game.

Hi Joe,
Was dusting off an old soldier here recently, GTD's Napoleonic Wars and was going to push some counters around and I could not find the consolidated Leader Reference Chart. I have the ones for the individual "campaign" games as those were on the series rules but not one for the larger game as there were some discrepancies between the Campaign Game. I know this is a shot in the dark but any chance you could help on this? I have asked around from others who own this game and no one seems to know if this existed or not. Thanks. Chuck
museum lecture I gave in Westchester somewhere. More than a decade ago. I[ve been umping out games like the Alien mother . . . from down in Charleston SC.
I founded the Wisconsin chapter of Praetorian Guard - so I corresponded with you, but I don't know if we played anything. I remember the game Blitzkrieg over Poland - did you design that?
I haven't played a lot of wargames lately - I just buy them. My second (and last) kid has just gone off to college, so maybe I'll have more time for it!
Glad to see you've joined!
