Now in the development stage of production. Beside the objective of making this gem of a game available, we want to update it to the current standards of the series. The new edition will include vedettes, pitched battles, etc. We're testing the 1807 forage rules for the new edition. We finished a 1st draft of BiI's exclusive rules and have received constructive feedback from the development team. Mark Owens is playtesting; Nicola Prandoni and friends are researching revisions to the map. We are working on an update to the game's charts and create a "Battle Scenario". The "Battle Scenario" is used to introduce the game to new players. We're also working on the OB (updating the 1st edition's OB with information not available 20 years ago) and a new map, counters, and leader display. If you'd like to help out with the project, please send an email to dschubert@infoam.com.
