Yeah. after 1943 the US advance was more slowed down by logistical considerations rather than Japanese resistance.
Napoleonic Wars Axis & Allies Style Game

@CWO-Marc We quite agree that Risk pieces can be very useful for our game. There have been many variations of Risk pieces over the years, some of which are quite small (we use them to represent militia) but some of which are perfectly sized and we use them for siege artillery and light cavalry. Here are some examples:

FYI: Eagle Games has the runner of industry & infrastructure buildings back in stock. I just took delivery of 5 myself!

Me and my friend have explored the idea of creating a Napoleonic Wars game. Could you share the map file and rules to help us come up with more ideas?
-
Ever heard of the Game Napoleon’s Imperium?
-
I remember this being popular with some of the most experienced players in the triplea lobby.
I think the FFA version was played the most.
Never tried it myself though.

@barnee FFA was mental: having silly nations allied to each other . I only played 3-5 . Nobody jut me seemed to like it !
The games after that were all : 4 historic allied nations vs (sort of ) 4 allied (baddy ) nations .
It is a good map, but Britain starts too strong with too many Fortresses in the Med. Makes it hard for Spain .
I wish you luck in your game design.
I own a Waterloo (battle) game , but it is not very good .
A campaign would would be fun. -
@Witt because its on AAA? Tabletop is a step above but still no where close to steam 1942…
-
@General-Day That’s awesome!
The Napoleonic wargame we created was also a collaboration between me and a close friend.
Would you mind if I asked whether you are creating your wargame for you and your friend to play or for commercial sale? If we sent you our map file and rules document, we would want you to recognize that we retain the copyrights for them.That formality aside, we’re happy that other people share our interest in a Napoleonic wargame - in our case based on Axis and Allies. If you’re interested, here is a link to a video we created of a trial game we played a few years back: https://youtu.be/p0tPHGrS8hw?si=Ot6skd6Ut7x8lmAC

@LordPatrick We do not want to sell this we just want to play it within our friend group. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
-
@LordPatrick Thanks for the video.
-
@The-Janus No, I never have. I’ll look into it.
-
I’m the generals friend, its not historically accurate but I wonder if teaming the US with France is a good idea just so it can include wars like the war of 1812 or the Spanish-American war.

@General-Day
re: Napoleon’s Imperium
I heard of it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=965bToMUps4Uses d10 instead of d6; from what I recall it probably could have utilized that a little better (not a lot of variance in terms of att/def values on units) but it’s a standard A&A-type dice-chucker, with fixed alliances.
-
@LordPatrick So if we just use it for ourselves, can you give us the map and rules?
-
@General-Day Apologies for the delay (we’ve been busy with holiday activities). We are fine sending you the map and rules for the game, with the obvious proviso that we retain all copyrights to them. Please email us at pmfproductionscontact@gmail.com and we can send you the map and rules. We hope you and your friend will find them helpful and we’ll be interested in any feedback you have!
