pamoa wrote:Thanks for your point of view ZeakCytho, but as I told before I'm trying to stick to some "real" order of battle so my choice is between around 30 territories or 120. But 120 is a bit over the top, so I'll stay around 30.
I will follow MrBenn suggestion by adding the 3 villages where they were heavy fighting: Pratzen (centre) Skolnitz and Telnitz (south). So their will be 32 starting position + 2 neutrals.

Just a thought

What do you mean?
captainwalrus wrote:The bonuses are weird. I don't really know where the centre left wing and right wing is, especially because the map is more vertical than horizontal. Also, it would be interesting to have some sort of victory conditions which make Napoleon and Alexander more important.A battle centred around them would be fun....
grayhawke wrote:Might I re-suggest adding artillery? say 8 artillery territs (5 Allies, 3 French)? As well as increasing the territs they would also provide the possibility of mid-to-long-range bombardment, restricted by position (left, centre, right) maybe? If 8 is thought too many then maybe 5? (split 3,2)

Keeping to Division level I don't see how we get much beyond 30 inf.+cav. territs. The leitmotif for this map appears to be "simplicity" and the current 29+2+3 territs supports that, though I think my suggestion for 29+3+6 territs also keeps the simplicitly while improving game play.
Speaking for myself I like this map and would like to see a series of such "simple" Napoleonic battle maps including one for Waterloo.

Qwert if you want another map make another map!
grayhawke I'll look at your proposal no time right now but seems interesting

Please go on and do a medium size version + 32 armies....i think 60-70 should be a good number
This is an important historical map and should be in the cc collection. Good luck.

qwert wrote:Mine apology, I read some conversation about adding more territory(and these is possible), but if you got something against mine simple suggestion, then I will remove from these topic permanently. Sorry for all problems what I create. If you want I can erase these previous post with proposed territory,to people don't be confused with these idea.

grayhawke wrote:I still feel a few more territs would not go amiss - another 4 would give 7-players 5 territs, and 6-players 6 territs.
I'd suggest another 3 villages (Augzed, Hostieradek, and Holubitz) plus the Austrian Commander, FML Prince Liechtenstein (no separate bonus but perhaps +1 for all 3 Commanders)
grayhawke wrote:I also think it might be helpful if, rather than talking of left and right wings, the terms north flank and south flank were used.
grayhawke wrote:Victory conditions
- French victory - hold Napoleon + French centre + Allied centre (16 territs)
- Allied victory - hold Alexandre + Liechtenstein + Allied centre and south + French south + Pratzen (16 territs)
