The French struggled to get their assault going due to terrain, lost a battery early on, but managed to put some pressure on the British who in turn had some units very unwilling to fight, but eventually launched the Black Watch to halt the French advance. British victory with +4 VP on first marker.

Both players were new to the system and one of them new to Napoleonic warfare, but they enjoyed the challenge and we discussed potential approaches to the battle, the role of combined arms and the power of well set up leader actions. Great success! And win for the British.

Hopefully you'll get one. I think the first print run is sold out.

Reading Rifleman Harris' account of the retreat is quite a thing, if you can get hold of it.

Depends on what those do and whether there is competition or not. Serious game probably (which in itself is a very wide term).

A TTX is a moderated discussion on a specific topic which potentially uses components to represent a certain state of things, but has no game mechanisms and usually not a red team (both of which make it different from a matrix wargame for example).

No, it hasn't. But if you compare all the various definitions there are usually 3 minimal requirements: opposition/human players (I'm personally temding to include serious games), synthetic experience created by game mechanism, players have to deal with the consequences of their actions.

And no, your uniform doesn't make any of your statements more true than mine which are those of the professional international #wargaming community.

But what do I know. Going back to my 5 years of experience in professional #wargaming, modeling and simulation, and scientific analysis

Sowieso.

Ich fürchte, die werden mich üblen Zionisten nicht einladen.

The battlefield gets chaotic as the units can freely move about, there are leaders which provide boni but no real divisions or other formations. I'd consider it C&C but with better command mechanism.

With the French cavalry surging the battlefield and roaming in the enemy's rear, the Austrian and German morale breaks. Bonaparte has repelled the second major Habsburg campaign to relieve Mantua.
