TDG: Vive L'Empereur!

Oh my goodness - thank you so much, Cody! This review makes me so happy - I’m honored by your kind words. We’re planning on to doing Borodino next with this system, so I hope that sounds good. Thanks again!

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

Thank you, sir. Borodino sounds awesome!

[@jpotter2086]

Luttmann is on a tear these past 2yrs!

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

Indeed.

Looks like a great game. I'm currently playing 'By Iron and Blood', The Battle of Konniggratz 1866, also from the talented Mr Luttmann and Blue Panther. It's a great small map wargame, probably up a notch in complexity from Vive L'Empereur!, and a 2 player affair (although I'm having a blast playing it solo regardless). Again, some really interesting mechanics - this title replaces the chit pull with a 'river' mechanism to activate your units. Very clever and makes for some agonising decisions! Well worth a look, especially as this slice of European history tends to get overlooked by gamers.

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

Yeah. That's one I'm interested in for sure. Thanks.

Looks like an interesting game. The Waterloo Campaign makes for an interesting study. As a historian I am sure you've read The Campaigns of Napoleon by David G. Chandler. For 19th century warfare I would recommend Legion Wargames Indian Wars of the American West series (1st Battle of Adobe Walls, Battle of Rosebud Creek, and The Little Bighorn).

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

Thanks for the recommends. Oh, yes Chandler. Some better books on the topic, IMHO.

You missed a golden opportunity - when you mentioned Blucher, you should've inserted the sound of a neighing horse (a la Young Frankenstein).

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

Ha!

Just bought it, and with the low Australian dollar and shipping, glad to know it will be worth it

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]
