Napoleon's Last Battles -- Campaign, Summer 2016, 3

There's much to admire in this system.  The relative simplicity of the rules and the low unit density, neither of which comes at the expense of verisimilitude, would certainly be two.  The command system as well is an elegant mechanism by which the game forces commanders to choose their fights.  Napoleon's left, the bit marching on Quatre Bras, is commanded by that basket-case Ney who is, justly I think, granted the ability to order only one corps and one unit.  Grouchy can handle two corps, but his command sprawls all along the length of the Ligny line.

And then there's the question of what to do with D'Erlon's I Corps.  More on that, though, in a bit.

Committed to the march on Quatre Bras.  The campaign starts late on 18 June, so I've definitely got to keep their fee moving before it gets dark.


As the tag suggests, I got bounced, despite having a 3-1, by that stack just west of the river bend.  We'll be back.
