Quatre Bras Mini Campaign (now closed)

to the Forum Hello and welcome!

This campaign is for the "Napoleonic" expansion MOD for Mediaeval:Total War, the strategy game from Activision. The MOD was created by those amazing people at "The Lords" website.
You can download NAP.3x, the NAP:TotalWar MOD from "The Lords" for free!

BASIC RULES: The operational area for the QB Mini Campaign is divided into 10 regions.
Each region represents a NAP:TotWar battle map. The contending French and Allied forces are as historically accurate as possible. Forces can move from any region they control to any adjacent region connected with a white line. This move takes one hour of GameTime. If any force moves into a region that is already occupied by the enemy, a battle will be fought.
French forces are controlled by the GamesMaster (GM), who uses the historical French plan as a guide for French operational movement. The Anglo-Allied forces are controlled by Players. Each Player is in command of a brigade. Players will fight tactical battles and issue operational orders.
Orders are submitted in the appropriate battalion folders in the GamesDevelopment Forum.
The Forum is used for communication beween the Players themselves and with the GM.

BATTLES: All battles are fought against the AI expert level. The battle file is custom built by the GM.
Players download this file when a battle is to be fought. When the Player has completed his battle, he saves a "re-play" file and sends this file to the GM, who will adjust casualties and the operational situation according to the outcome of any battles and Player orders.

TIME SCALE: One hour of GameTime will be played in one week. 5 days to allow Players to download the battle, play it and send the replay file to the GM. The GM will take 2 days for the operational resolutions.

GENERAL BRIEFING: It's 2pm on June 16th 1815. The Anglo-Allied forces are moving into position to bring Napoleon and the French Army to battle. The important cross-road at Quatre Bras is defended by elements of the 1st Army Corps under the Prince of Orange.
The 1st Brigade of the 2nd Dutch Belgian Infantry Division is covering the approaches from the south. Their main force is at "The Ridge" and at at Gemioncourt, a screening force of Jaegers are scouting around Piraumont.
