Re: What are people buying?
Yeah. Boardgames like this are great for the tactical aspect of the campaign and then fighting the encounters on the tabletop

Yes, we did a superb Napoleonic campaign once with an Avalon Hill boardgame that directly linked into the Napoleon's Battles rules, also by Avalon Hill. So you could play the interesting battles on the table or just let the boardgame mechanics handle the less interesting ones.

We played Napoleons battles ALOT some 25 years ago. Had great games with them

I believe that the Lardies do a campaign booklet for Francis Marion called the Swamp Fox, covering the Caroline's in 1780-81.

They do and it’s very good but - as you would expect - very skirmish orientated . I’m intending to pillage that though and Dawns & Departures for good ideas.

Yep. I have both, and enough figures painted to do some decent SP2 games in the AWI, but no-one locally seems to have much interest in AWI as a genre. And you can't play campaigns solo...
