<t> Oh, OK, that makes perfect sense now. Well you could do it with EiA, but it would involve a lot of manual record keeping. The other alternative is to find a campaign system developed specifically for miniatures. I know the author of one of these (Kip Trexel of the Empire Campaign System) and the ...

<t> I think you might have misunderstood my listing, as I don't look at it as generic as much as I do historical. In that regard you could have dozens of variations. Have all Jaegers in an independent divisional command of several brigades. Lump all the 12lbers into an army artillery reserve. Rather ...

<t> This was a single example I pulled from Borodino. Given the number and types of brigades, you could really mix it up and produce a lot of variations. For example, on one side of Borodino they detached all Jaeger brigades and threw them forward under an independent command. Lots of ways you could ...

Not exactly. Tell you what, it might be better to explain it with an example. Why don't you come up with an army, any country, any year, and let me know what type and how many strength points ...

<r> Not exactly. Tell you what, it might be better to explain it with an example. Why don't you come up with an army, any country, any year, and let me know what type and how many strength points comprise it and I'll show you how I would convert that to pewter using AOE.<br/>

I think the NB paradigm is likely the least best option from a practical sense. Not only is it, IMHO, uber complex, but you absolutely have to have the original rules to make sense of it. Finding the blue supplement book will be a bear, as will the original rules while NB II ...

<t> I checked the NB solution and its pretty complex if not overkill. It also suffers historically somewhat due to the need of the game to field units of a single troop type, which often did not happen. Overall the system seems keyed to duplicate the EIA OB system as exactly as possible, regardless ...

<t> Most excellent, thanks!<br/>

Now the only unanswered question about if and how well miniature combat results will segue into EIA. I have a game coming up in March at the Cold Wars convention, so I'll try to finagle the game into a combat situation that is similar and use the results from ...

<t> OK, this is some excellent information, thanks to all. Obviously the folks at TMP are mistaken and the fact that I can play solo to test out the Third Party system is exactly what I was looking for.<br/>
<br/>
As regards converting EIA into miniature forces, my gut feeling is that most pewter ...

<t> Need some help here, perhaps from one of the developers.<br/>

I'm going to be writing a follow-up review for wargamer.com specifically targeting EiA as a campaign system for miniatures. The struggle I am going through right now is that:<br/>
