Great! Do you want to be the elves or the orks? But seriously, I've not played any age of sail games except for once at a convention. It was a multiplayer game (we had 6 or maybe 7 iirc) called Bloody Broadsides and I bloody loved it. Check it out if you get the chance. I think it could easily be played solo, but I still have a few hundred figures to paint (for other games) taking up my table space.@@catdenvonwein2723

David as Eugene is honestly so entertaining. Also, Chal is a perfect choice for the extremely aggressive Blucher. Miles’ decision to not reenforce Tom in the second half was definitely a missed opportunity. Miles outnumbered Chal in the extreme later on, and Tom, poor Tom, pretty much sat on his hands because of his lack of forces.

I mean how could you not pick Austerlitz as Napoleon's best battle! Probably his most successful victory. His victory without firing a shot at Ulm slightly before Austerlitz, by enveloping Mack's army just by spreading his forces out on the march to trap them, is also extremely impressive. Great video!

This was a fantastic start to this campaign. I love the "Fog of War" aspect of campaigns and listening/watching the different commanders discuss strategy, trying to figure what the other side have planned. Creating a 3d version of the map and using flags to represent the forces adds to the immersion. Using the Volley and Bayonet ruleset takes me back to my childhood, watching my dad and his friends from our wargaming club play Napoleonic and ACW battles. I'm very much a French player for the Napoleonic era and the lack of cavalry and reliable scouting reports make this period really challenging for the French which I think adds to the enjoyment of campaigns like this. Great job guys, and Merry Christmas from Australia. One of my favourite Napoleonic battles is the Battle of Rivoli. :)

Mine is Lützen. Napoleon initially being caught on the back foot on the site of Gustavus Adolphus' death, but inspiring his young conscripts to hold against overwhelming odds. Then, Napoleon's counterattack and victory; testament to the same adaptability he showed at Eckmühl. An indecisive (if only Napoleon had Cossaks...) victory won at at a high price, showing the emperor in all his personal glory, but offering a grim look into the future of the 1813 campaign.

(also some Andrew fight on this battle (on the russian side) and almost die ;) )

What a fun winter treat! Modifying the hex and chit rules to include a miniature battle resolution system is genius and I'm really liking how it looks to play out! Especially as a longtime hex and chit fan, it's something I love to see played out! Brilliant moves from the french side after the Magdeburg debacle, great job rallying and recovering from mistakes. My personal favorite battle is Jena-Auerstedt! Brilliant tactical work from the french. But my favorite of the German 1813 campaign is the battle of Dresden from the autumn!

This was really great fun to watch, ty to all the participants. I loved the historical references and source material, I learned a great deal as well as having fun. I especially loved the uniforms and character role play, you all did a fantastic job of making learning history fun and exciting. Thanks again. 3 brains are better than 2. The Tsar should’ve sent more Cossacks and been more personally involved. His presence in this theatre would’ve swayed the balance of power in favour of the allies and pushed Napoleon’s strategies to their breaking point and potentially brought out the best in him and the French. The end was somewhat anticlimactic, with no great final end boss battle. But other than this, it was remarkably accurate to history and a very interesting puzzle. The Allies started out extremely well, but got bogged down and drawn into a more static kind of war that doesn’t play to their strengths. The wisdom of the allies in real life was to out manoeuvre the French, avoiding pitched battles with Napoleon, until the allies could gain a decisive advantage in numbers, logistics and force potency. Had the allies stuck to this plan, kept moving around and fought hit and run tactics to the smaller French armies and supply lines. Not giving the French any time to consolidate their forces, or effectively counter the speedy allies thrusts. Then the French would’ve been stretched thinner and become more strung out. Enabling the allies to choose a final battlefield and control the situation, like controlling an accident. They could’ve played for time until they could amass their forces and deploy their reinforcements effectively. The Tsar did hint at this by ordering to bypass Dresden and block the French way to Leipzig, a moment of brilliance on the Tsars part. However I think that this made the Allies feel a bit to buoyant and they let the North stagnate, albeit there wasn’t much they could do; either stand and fight or retreat from Hamburg and seeing as the Tsar ordered them to stand at Hamburg, their hands were tied. The allies did do pretty well to get 8 Victory points, to the French’s 10, so it was a close result. I think the French were in a strong position though, had the game continued, I believe the French would’ve won more victory points and increased the margin of their victory. I don’t think the allies could’ve played any better, they had some bad luck with the dice that could’ve changed the result, had the luck gone the other way. The allies have to choose 1 city to hold onto, Hamburg or Berlin and try to distract the French enough from being able to mass their forces, before the allies can. I see this scenario as a race, to see who can amass a large enough force the first, to be able to deliver the knockout blow and to choose the right path for it to succeed. While also trying to stall the opponent and defend against their offensives. What I’m basically trying to say is, “he who defends everything defends nothing.” I’d love to see a replay of this scenario, perhaps reversing the teams? Thanks again.

Really enjoying your 3-phased 1813 campaign, and my Tuesday group just did a Grossbeeren. As for favorite battle, I have to provide both naval and land. For land, I've tended to Penninsular campaign, and I'm going to go with the relatively small action of Sahagun, as all cavalry, with 15th Hussars which my trusty mount Shiloah in past portrayed, plus being very early in the (intermittent) campaign. But as a retired naval officer, I give top spot to maritime, and for that I favor the Battle of the Nile (Aboukir Bay) 1798, for being early in Napoleon's and Nelson's careers, nearly equal forces, and the audacity of Nelson's band of brothers instant assault in challenging coastal conditions, and an overwhelming British victory, that with a more average British commander, might have had very different tactical and strategic results.

You guys need to do a Siege of Fort Sackville (battle of Vincennes) game. I am from the area, and it is a very interesting battle. Well, it was more of a skirmish. American general George Rogers Clark (older brother of explorer William Clark) led his small force of 172 colonial militia men from Kaskaskias Illinois to Vincennes Indiana to Suprise attack commander and territorial British Govenor Henry Hamilton who had built a fortification in Vincennes after a campaign in Canada and Detroit. General Clark would lead his men to Vincennes in 1779 to take Fort Sackville from Hamilton. This would be a key strategic point for the American Revolution so the US could expand to the west later on. Hamilton had around 50 British regulars with 180 or so militia and 325 native American supporters. General Clark had marched his men well over 100 miles in swampy conditions to finally reach Vincennes. General Clark somehow managed to force a British surrender while only suffering 1 casualty. He was way outnumbered with no artillery whatsoever and still managed to destroy a force nearly 3 times the size of his. There is a whole memorial dedicated to him and so on in modern day Vincennes Indiana. It was more of a skirmish and lasted about 2 1/2 hours as most, but i think you could up the scales and so on to make a pretty interesting game. Good luck in 2024 and God Bless! Also I made it 1K comments!!

Man, it's so hard to pick just one battle, but I'm going with the Battle of Eylau, highlighting as it did the tenacious and stubborn nature of the Russians, the flexibility and aggressiveness of the French, Murat's magnificent mass cavalry charge to save the French center, and the surprising last-minute arrival of the Prussians to stave off the envelopment of the Allied left, all while engulfed in a snowstorm. Kudos to your presentation of the 1813 campaign. Love the campaign map and maneuver format with the fog of war really adding to the authenticity of command decision difficulties for your brave generals (and one emperor).

The battle of Großbeeren is the my favourite, because Yorck is the most hilarious general of the napoleonic wars. The man sent a letter to his king formally informing him of his high treason in defecting to the Russians near the end of 1812. The battle itself also demonstrates that without their emperor, most of Napoleons Marshals really weren't that good as independent commanders.

The season ends on a cliffhanger -- the Summer Armistice! Many thanks for the video and the campaign supplement.

Battle of Waterloo. I know it’s a basic answer, but I just love it. Having a soundtrack by Abba doesn’t hurt.

Gents, a cracking video as always. Looking forward to the next installment. I'd have to say that my favourite battle of the Napoleonic period is Salamanca. After all, I was a Rifleman.

A phenomenal beginning to the campaign. I'm excited to see the continuation. I'm personally more of a Civil War person, seeing as I am an Alabamian, but Austerlitz would be my favorite Napoleonic battle. Not to be one of cliché, it would be because it mirrors the gamble our General Lee took in May 1863 at Chancellorsville. Both were fought vastly differently, make no mistake of that, but the stakes were the same. Victory or total defeat. In the end, both were battles of divided armies and ended up as the victor's masterpiece fight. Also, if y'all could eventually do a grand campaign in the Eastern Theater of the Civil War, I would be wholly fascinated by it. Once again, great job here.

Fantastic work by the generals, designers, and editors of this fine wargame! I will say that I anticipated Greg's grand reveal as Tsar Alexander as soon as the first well-timed message appeared. I look forward to parts 2 and 3! My favorite Napoleonic battle is the Battle of the Nile. Some of the best demonstrations of British naval firepower in the era!

The Battle of Leipzig is my favorite Napoleonic Wars battle and it is the pinnacle of an era. I wish the Emperor good luck in this campaign!

My favorite battle is the battle of Rivoli, wich lead to the conclusion of the siege of Mantua and eventual surrender of Austria in the war of the first coalition. One of Napoleons greatest victories in my opinion.

Great video chaps, love the length, content, format. Perfect! Favourite Napoleonic battle has to be Gorodetschna in 1812. Austrians and Saxons fighting side by side against the devilish Russians. We played this game with the Austrian CinC playing the cagey game, not wanting to get too involved (without Napoleon noticing) whilst the Saxon commander is desperate to get at the Russians to avenge an earlier defeat and rescue a brigade of Saxons taken prisoner days before. Great game.

A great campaign video. But my favorite battle is one that cemented Davout's reputation. The battle of Auerstadt. Thanks for the fun and informative game.
