Background

For our first two games we printed 2,000 units each. However, in 1998 the distribution network started to implode. With our third title we reduced printings to 1,500. The result is we have a quantity of unboxed copies of 1806 for sale in ziploc at a discount of 75%-off the retail price (the boxed version remains available). La Guerre de l'Empereur, our third title, (the first with a print run of 1,500) is now down to fewer than 10 copies on the shelf.

Counter Sleds

We have been asked to make these wooden counter holders available for sale, but we need to gauge demand before placing our initial order. Please see discussion and photo http://www.napoleongames.com/forums...75&page=1&pp=10

Publication Plans

Four Lost Battles (the 1813 Quad) has been announced as our next publication. We are seriously considering going to press with TWO games at once this year. The second game would be the Bonaparte in Italy Expansion. Both of the new games need further playtesting before final publication. -Kevin Zucker

Four Lost Battles Development

http://www.napoleongames.com/forums/showthread.php?p=488

The Battlefield of Kulm has provided a mystery. We are now designing the fifth completely new prototype map for this battle game. Source material was scarce at first, but we have been helped a lot by volunteer researchers Michel Lepetit and Jeff Moore. Jeff has provided us with a CD copy of "Die Kriege von 1792 bis 1815 in Europa un Aegypten. Schlacten-Atlas von 1792-1815." That will provide the source map for our Kulm battle game. Once this map is completed we will send out playtest kits.
