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

Yes, that's a six! (Or a "maximum" as the pyjama cricket commentators now insist on calling it.)

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...

Are you saying that families who move to the UK can never become British, even after several generations...? It's funny, but it sounds like you'd get on fine with Germans of a certain political clime.

you mean like Phillip!

And no, you implied that. Not me.

I’m really intending on solo play - I like to do myself a narrative and my internal monologue is very argumentative so I can easily get to play both sides

Does your opponent cheat?
