BEST OFFER ON NAPOLEONIC TOUR 2002: August 11 - 20 For some reason we cannot seem to get the tour booked this year. (Anyone with ideas as to why: we'd like to hear from you.) Carlos has done so much work on the preparations that it would be a shame if we had to postpone to next year. We are willing to accommodate you for $100 over our cost to fill the seats ... This promises to be a fascinating tour, covering all the important campaigns of Wellington, and more besides; and Portugal is so marvelous you will not ever want to come home. (See Carlos' description of the Salamanca battlefield in the 'Letters' section on page 4. http://www.napoleongames.com/tours/tour_2002.cfm) RETURNED MAIL?

I have started to make a table, using the Historical marches of the French Central Army Group as laid out in March Tables, to do several run-throughs to double-check the strength of the French Army at the end of Game-Turn 9, after deducting Attrition _and_ detachments left behind in garrisons. The table would have headings as follows: Central Army Group Turn Attrition Detached + Garrisons 1. 2. etc. Back to OSG News May 2002 Table of Contents Back to OSG News List of Issues Back to Master Magazine List © Copyright 2002 by Operational Studies Group This article appears in MagWeb (Magazine Web) on the Internet World Wide Web.
