DarkAge
DarkAge is a play by mail
game that I ran some 3-4 years agoin the UK - based in Birmingham
but with players from Manchester, Sheffield and Warwick. The game is
one of diplomacy , intrigue and battle in post Roman Britain. This is
the era of Saxons, Angles , Picts , Irish and Briton. It is the time of
the birth traumas of the British Nations as they exist today.It is the
time of legend and myth .And it is the time of Arthur.

Napoleon in Germany
This was a short campaign that did not get far.
In
1812 The Emperor Napoleon lead some half a million French and Allied
troops into Russia . By the following Spring abandoned by their
Prussian and Austrian allies a pathetic 30,000 had got back to Germany
. The rest had died in the snows of the merciless Russian winter a
thousand miles from their homes.
The
Russians eager for revenge pursued the French . Prussia abandoned the
French alliance and it became obvious would declare war on their former
allies. Austria became neutral - but for how long . Urged on by Britain
a powerful coalition was forming . The French empire was doomed -that
seemed obvious .
Napoleon
however had different plans . He had left his Grand Armee in Russia and
headed for Paris . Firstly he needed to stabilize the political
situation . Then he set to building a new army . Around the core of the
survivors of Russia , old veterans in France and battalions recalled
from fighting Wellington in Spain he constructed a new army. Young
recruits were called up. Garrison and civil defense formations were
drafted in. The army was poorly trained , only half equipped and
woefully short of cavalry but in a few months Napoleon had an army of
200,000 men available for him .
In
the early spring the army was concentrating in Westphalia . The allies
were in Saxony . The French Empire East of the Rhine was at stake .
More then that - this was Napoleons chance of keeping the enemy out of
France . In late April his Corps began moving east.
The campaign had begun...
