Scourge of War Boards

If you had to pick one thing that you would like to see in a tactical-level, Napoleonic wargame, what would it be?

ONE thing? That's a tuffy. Not to be flippant, but the primary criterion is that I could play it on my 1 GHz 1 Gb Pentium M laptop with an ATI 300 (128 mb), even with all the settings turned down.

I don't think I'll be able to play histwar, for example. But I'll buy anything developed by norbsoftdev, just on the basis of my satisfaction with MMG.

Ain't that the truth.

Yes I can think of one really sound addition.
More than 2 armies.

This is accross the board in the system.

1. Napoleonics Waterloo - Brits / French / Prussians
last count, thats three. (unless you are english, and there is only 1)

2. Civil War - Even Grant had subordinate armies
And of course, the \"grande Divisions.\"

3. And for Multiplayer...

Yep. You are trackin' like a railroad.

To me the romance of the Napoleonic Wars was the increased doctrine of using cavalry as a decisive force on the battlefield -- however successful or not, not just for scouting or for exploiting a rout.

I think I first became enraptured with this time period after watching Bondarchuk's Waterloo as a kid. Seeing all the horses.. the charge against the squares .. to me that was awesome.

I loved the variability in the units too. Hussars, dragoons, lancers, heavies.

Well I have close to 18,000 Napoleonic miniatures. It is really a spectical to see them diplayed on the field of Battle.

The thing I am concerned with is the effectiveness of the 3 types of infantry. Linear, Columns, mixed. The different years govern the infantry formations used. you just CAN'T click a button for that \"formation\"... It is not JUST infantry....

John, you are a man of few words
