Napoleonic Wars Axis & Allies Style Game

Nice ! I can see theses pieces gettin custom painted !

The ships look so neat and wonderful! Absolutely love them! :3

I like this map! Looking forward to the details you plan to share.

Ah I see you have regular AA pieces mixed in.
No way you can take those out or are representing a different ship until u make correct ships ?
Don’t think there was much choice then.

Cool. Good Luck

And the French conquered Norway while the British own Sweden how?

@LordPatrick I like it; well done. Have you got any unit set up charts for us to see?

@Imperious-Leader Thanks for your question. Based on the research Patrick and I did, although Scandinavia was not a central theater of activity during the Napoleonic wars, there were a number of small campaigns/wars such as Sweden’s fighting with the Third Coalition against France in 1805-07, its wars against Denmark/Norway in 1808-09 and against Russia over Finland, and finally its joining the Sixth Coalition in 1813-14. Despite occasional shifting alliances, it seems Denmark/Norway were reasonably faithful French allies during 1805-13 and Sweden was usually allied with Britain for most of that time. In our test games, Scandinavia can be rather strategic since controlling the Baltic can allow amphibious invasions of not only Northern Europe but also Russia and even Britain (via Denmark). If you have any further thoughts or questions, please let us know.

@crsluggo Thanks for your comment on our map. We (especially Patrick) worked very hard on it (there are many prior versions). We are pretty happy with the current version (as pictured) and appreciate your liking it. Please stay tuned as we will have more updates in the near future.

@Thequilla98 Patrick and I are glad you like the ships though we cannot take credit for them (at least not the ships of the line). They are produced by Morrison Games (as are many of the land units) and are available via Amazon. As Patrick mentions below, we have been working on our own 3D Frigates and Transports and have decent prototypes but are still perfecting them.

@LordPatrick thanks again for sharing your game with us . Enjoy playing it.

Yes, they’re from a game called Viktory II:

@MikeF-AusTX The thing is you have some neutral states like Spain, then others like Norway and Sweden are de facto colonies of France and UK respectively. Its just wrong. Sweden Hated Russia and didn’t commit troops to continental Europe, and certainly would not be a puppet of England. Countries aligned but neutral should have their own income and different armies like you have with Spain

@Imperious-Leader We would have loved to make Sweden an independent country in our game but we would also have had to do so with Denmark/Norway (and cases could be made for Portugal and Naples). Ultimately we were limited in available colors for units and also were concerned about the extra playing time when you have too many countries. That doesn’t mean either one is a “colony” or “puppet”, just an ally like the countries named above (among others). By comparison, Mexico is shown as a US Territory in A&A Global 1940 even though it was an independent ally. Also, don’t forget that Swedish and Russian troops fought together under Bernadotte in the 1813-14 campaign.

Its called spray paint…poof different colors.

The pieces from Viktory II are simply fantastic for any game in the Napoleonic era. The 9 available colors gives the gamecrafter great flexibility.

If you are looking for a historical factory piece, I’d suggest looking at War! Age of Imperialism from Eagle Games. You can get a runner of industry & infrastructure buildings for $2.99.
