My review of Bonaparte in Italy has been published in VV36. I hope you will like it.

Subject: Napoleon's Game

I feel that this design REALLY needs more exposure. I am quite sure it will become a best seller: everybody's into card-driven games these days and many people are fascinated by Napoleon. No reason why it shouldn't become a new Paths of Glory-like hit. I suggest you send an article, with a designer interview and some more explanations of the game flow to consimworld for publication between their 'news' items. Also stress on the napoleonicgames page that the map you see is a playtest map. This may seem obvious but I once recommended in the newsgroup rec.games.board to preorder the game and some less enlightened people answered: "yes but it sure is an ugly map."

PS. a few weeks ago I played your '6 Days of Glory' design (French Tilsit edition). It was a lot of fun, and the Barber map is maybe the best one I've ever seen (even the paper 'feels' authentic).

We in The Gamers' NBS Team have put up a complete new game on our website, free for all to download. It is a small scenario of Victor and Blake's fight at Espinosa in October 1808, a subject never before covered, we think. For those who have never tried our system this is a great chance to try as series rules, tables and all can be downloaded from the same place.
