Austerlitz notes part 2

Posted 10 Nov 09 at 08:55 by rahamy (HPS Simulations Blog)
Since the release of Jena-Auerstaedt there have been modifications to the engine that have helped to correct some of the "blitz" ability found in the fifteen minute turn versions of the scenarios. I went with a ten minute turn based on the fact that so many of the battles were not that long and I felt that a fifteen minute version of some of the actions would rob the players of opportunity for proper control of their army. For instance in a small sized six turn game the catostrophic rout of one brigade can have devastating effects on the outcome. Increase that scenario to eight or nine turns and...

Scenario Design Center (SDC) rebirth...

Posted 29 Oct 09 at 08:03 by rahamy (HPS Simulations Blog)
My old site, the SDC, has found a new home and is under new ownership - http://www.hist-sdc.com/ - please check it out when you get the chance. New content will be going in over the next few weeks.

All the old articles, game spotlight pages & the like will be moved over, but new content will also be added in. Additionally, sites like MapMod will be ties to it (since the owner needed a new home for it) and old sites like the Napoleonic Wargame Pages by John Pumphrey will be merged in as well.

All in all a lot of work left to be done, but the goal is to make it THE place...
