OSG's Library of Napoleonic Battles - it's time to learn the system. I picked up a few intro games (single battles) over the past few years but never played any of them. A few months ago I was looking at/reminiscing over the old SPI Napoleon's Last Battles. I reviewed the Decision Games remakes - I had actually made a VASSAL module for them of the 2nd Edition a year ago. This lead me to OSG and Kevin Zucker and I decided if I was going to get into the series I should start with the 'latest'. https://napoleongames.com/pages/library-of-napoleonic-battles This was about the end of last year and OSG was having a sale and I picked up Napoleon's Last Gamble (NLG - Waterloo Battles) and Napoleon against Russia (NaR). This should be enough battles combined with my 2 intro battles to keep me busy. I also had invested in a number of computer Napoleonic Battles from JTS/WDS which I may start playing in parallel - although these are at a more tactical level. https://wargam...

As the planet prospered it came to the attention of a number of large interplanetary agricultural corporations. They began working with the planetary government and buying the smaller family farmlands. Eventually, the majority of the planet farming was owned by the corporations and in league with the government they started pressuring the remaining largest farm families to sell out to them. One by one they fell, until only a handful of the most prominent remained - including Captain Burnett's family. Her parents were determined to resist... until they were in an air car accident. The corporations in league with the government leveraged the press to ruin her and her family's repu...
This is my first attempt at new content. I have been purchasing JTS/HPS/WDS games since way back in the CD days. About a decade ago I played numerous PBEM games through The Blitz Club I have always wanted to return and deep dive many of the series - Panzer Campaigns/Battles, Modern War, Squad Battles, American Civil War, Napoleonic's, Early American Wars, and even Strategic WW2. In addition, with the recent tragic death of Dr. Tiller, I looked again at all his series and am totally amazed at what he produced. He was a giant in the wargaming industry and his absence will be sorely missed. But I am heartened that it will all continue now under WDS. So this post is an attempt to begin the process of reacquainting myself with these many amazing series, starting with the anchor series Panzer Campaigns. And considering the time of year, what better place to start than with the Bulge '44 starter scenario: Date: Dec 16th, 1944 - Size: Small - Location: ...
