Hi everybody !

Big fan of EIA since his beginning, I'm actually a referee in a special game 1805-1815 where I take in motion experiences of troups.
This is my first post here, may I hail to everybody here

Welcome, Kraakstorm! All frogs welcome here.

When you say that you are a referee of a "special game 1805-1815," does this mean an EiA game (1805 campaign), or some other Napoleonic game?

Speak for yourself. The only good frog is a DEAD frog! Or one just about to forage in the most worse conditions possible...

Uh...
Your sentence remind me somes words on somes germans tongs in 1933...
Some ideas are like deseases..; it's seems... but well... As Marylin said : Nobody's perfect !

Hello Regeurk !

Ah... Colorado... So nice is this state !
To answer to your question : Yes, I mean a EIA game 1805-1815 campagn.
But as I am a true passion buddy about history, I change some data. Let's see :
Republic of Italy (composes of Lombardy, Parma, Modena, Mantua, Romagna) is a french free state. Gene is a minor free country. Egypte is a conq Turkey.
Sweden is composed of Finlandia, Sweden Pomerania and Sweden of course.
Tuscany is a conq spanish state.

I uses some special rules to reflect the Marie-Louise effect or the Austerlitz veteran effect.
Each infantery you pay has 2.5 moral. They are blue infantery.
After there first battle, 70% of the blue infantery surviving become infantery confirmed.
And 30% of the infantery confirmed troups becomes veteran troups if they win the battle when 20% become veteran if they loose the battle.

This is to reflect the management of the moral infantery, to reflect the fact that 45% of french infantery fighting at Austerlitz were veteran from the 1796 Italian campaign. And lot of problems during russian campagn was due to the fact that the best french troups was involved in conflict versus guerrilla in Spain.

So :
Blue Infantery = 2.5
Confirmed = 3
Vet = 3.5
If French add +0.5
If British add +0.8

I creates lots of Excels files to give more quickly and to automate orders for my players. If you like it

Others rules are in place of course...

Sweet, i like the rule, but for the computer version, not for boardgame, too much work.
It can be a nice future option for the computer version.

About sweden, you used it like the 8th player rule but without player I guess, giving Prussia extra cash for lossing Pomerania. It is a nice idea.

Hola ! Companero del pais de mi madre !

If fact, I'm a referee and not a player.
My only pleasure is to read diplomacy of my player and manage differents rules.
This campagn is composed of 7 major powers players and 3 minor powers players. (Egypte + Danemark + Sweden)
I use the cyberboard as board Pbem system. Which permits me to create my own pieces and my own map (from a EIH map)
So I create special rules to give the possibility to annex diplomaticly or militarly a Minor Power player. Actually, it sounds good.. but it is just the beginning.
I have to see how everything goes by time ...[;)]

It's an interesting idea for sure.

But where did you get that 45% number? At the time of the armistice of Leoben in 1797 Bonaparte had under 60,000 men in the army of Italy. There were always more men in Germany even in 1797. The Grande Armee in 1805 was over 200,000, and Napoleon had (IIRC) 100,000 men at Austerlitz. I understand that the best troops were in the corps that fought at Austerlitz, but I'm a little surprised that of about 60,000 troops in the army of Italy 8 years earlier over 45,000 were on the field of Austerlitz.

(Now if we'r talking NCO's that's a whole different story. That 45% of the NCO's at Austerlitz had been in Italy wouldn't surprise me at all.)

Sorry, you are right, I said "from the 1796 Italian campaign" but I have to said "from the 1796 Italian campaign period" Which inglob of course the Germans french legions, the Zurich 1799 french campaign and the second Italian 1801 french troups. I do not count the 1798 Pyramid troups because they have been so desperated...
At Austerlitz nearly 86000 french troups fight but lot of others stand in the way between France and Vienne due to the Ulm campaign. But when we fight, we let weak troups as eating garisons, and we keep lots of veterans troups for fighting...

Welcom Kraakstorm to the Forum. By the way, you stated that you were the new "frog" in town. I presume you are referring to your being French. So where are you from, and why are you just a referee and not playing a game?
