Nitpick: The Bridge Over Donauworth

Frank Hunter's Campaigns on the Danube is an operational study of the campaigns along the Danube in 1805 and 1809. Campaigns on the Danube's system focuses on trying to present the player with the same sort of decisions placed on their historical counterparts; how to feed an army and move that army according to a plan, all the while trying to fight a campaign. There is also an option to allow players to play out the battles with miniatures and input the results.

Nitpick: The Bridge Over Donauworth

Post by Technopiper »

In the game, the road from Donauworth to Augsburg crosses the Donau after the bend to River Lech. Whereas on a map that I've found, it crosses the Donau before the bend. This may not have a great impact on game play, but the movements would be different.

I think that the problem here is that the rivers have had to be adapted to conform to the hex sides. The Chemkid map layout is taken directly from the original game map, from way back, which was never intended to be geographically perfect, when squeezed into a hex format.
