napoleon's leipzig campaign

The players are required to provide the strategic leadership for
their forces against the background of frictions to military operations
in this period: limited command and control; unpredictable subordinates
leading large forces of unevenly trained soldiers; unwieldy logistical
support and tactical engagements that could shortly produces a
bloodbath. The stakes are for nothing less than the fate of the Old
Order against the forces of change unleashed by the French Revolution.
The maneuver map is centered on the German Kingdom of Saxony. The map is
divided into territorial districts, connected by lines of
communications. The distance between the districts varies, as the lines
of communication represent daily march distances for the military
formations of the period. The army and corps combat units are
headquarters to which strength points are assigned. Each strength point
represents about 1000 men, although this figure varies based upon
specific units’ quality of soldiers and number of artillery pieces."
Like 'War to the death', NLC is now out of print. There is little
information about this boardgame in Internet, although the
BoardGameGeek site has an entry for it and
ConSimWorld Forum maintains a thread.
I have designed a
gamebox
(5 MB!) for CyberBoard (V 3.0) to play the
game without the physical components. See a reduced version of the map
of Saxony
