Title: Six Days in October -- A "Le Vol de L'Aigle" Forum Kriegsspiel
Post by: Cyrano on September 07, 2016, 09:22:04 PM
It's the beginning of October 1806.

On one side of the Thuringian Forest are the forces of the King of Prussia.  An army that gave the Battle of Austerlitz a miss a little under a year earlier and had begun to smart under a series of indignities -- real and perceived -- from the victorious Emperor of the French.

On the other side of the forest was Napoleon I, more than aware of the Prussian resentment, not to mention mobilization, and preparing to strike north before the prevaricating Prussians could fully prepare for war.

What followed was the campaign of Jena-Auerstadt that ended in the shattering of the Prussian army and kingdom and, coupled with the 1807 campaigns further East, cemented Napoleon's version of peace in Europe until his ill-considered journey into Russia in 1812.

As a sidebar to the series of articles I'm writing for the Mythical Front Page (tm), I had thought to run a kriegsspiel of the 1806 campaign, via this forum, using Pratzen Edition's "Le Vol de L'Aigle" rules, volume I.  This is the short operational system that places an emphasis on maneuver, reconnaissance, and, yes, the logistics, if simplified, of Napoleonic warfare.  Participants will be corps commanders with someone being selected to be both a corps commander and either Napoleon or the Prussian commander Hohenlohe.  I have run this system for Napoleonic tyros and veterans and both groups found they provided a comprehensible, only moderately complicated, and satisfying experience.  Turns are not hard things to submit and I'm going to try to adopt the relatively leisurely pace of two turns per week.

If you're interested, I'd ask you to shout out here.  If you have a preference of side, please say so.  If you have a preference as to commander, you have my admiration, and please say so.

In the meanwhile, I look forward to both running this game and seeing you all out on the battlefield!

Best,

Jim

Speaking as someone who was kind of crushed that it's impossible (currently, and probably permanently) to play a full fog Campaigns on the Danube email game, allow me to volunteer as corps commander. No preference as to side.

However, despite our similar names I'm not familiar with the game rules.  :buck2: ::)

If you run in to an odd number, you may count me in.  Three things though:

1) I don't have a preference for side

2) I don't have the foggiest, vague idea of what would be required of me

and

3) I will need enough lead time to do some research

I think I've recruited one, possibly two more players. I also ordered a copy of Le Vol de L'Aigle for myself, since you think so highly of the system, Jim.


I also grabbed the Vassal module for it, which looked interesting.

I'd love to end up at eight.

And let me be clear, Vol. I is wondrous.  I'm OK with II.  Three, well, Dr. Rouy really kinda took it straight off the rails for me.

This KS will be run using Vol. I for the sheer efficiency of it all...

All right.

Doug's winding up a few others and I've not quite finished promoting (looking to the end of the week) but what I see so far:

Barthheart
Blackhorse
Bob
Dom
Double Deuce
Duke of Earl
James Sterrett
JasonPratt
Lancer4321
Leg22
MetalDog
PanzerDe
Pinetree
Tobias Archer
UCG

Which would be a fine group, let me say.

I puzzle as to whiskey the actual foxtrot Brant is doing, but I move on.

I will randomize sides, set up an e-mail list, and get things under way this weekend.

Best,

MERDE!

(Sorry, seemed to fit the moment.)

FYI, the management has asked me to keep sign-ups open over the weekend and I, of course, oblige.

So far I've got all eight participants down as having no "side" preference so will randomize commanders.

As to bribes, there is a rule within "Vol de L'Aigle" that allows each commander -- once per day -- to attempt to gain information by some means that fits the period.  The information may or may not be good.  There may be none at all.  But, while bribing me avails little, bribing a local toll official or mayor might...

Here's a quick one for you. After departing Vierzehnheiligen, a small village complete with cannon-balls still stuck in buildings, we made our way to Hassenhausen, another small village also with cannonballs still embedded in walls. Upon arriving there, we noticed a substantial marker/monument. We pulled over onto he shoulder of the road, steps away from the western-most edge of the village. We then proceeded to walk the 100 or so meters to the south to the marker. We had taken probably no more that 10 or so steps, when my buddy says, "Hey what is this?" He then bent down and picked up a musketball...I kid you not (it was a freshly plowed field, mind you). It was a fantastic, and apparently not out of the ordinary find.

I don't own the rules but I'm familiar with the system and have participated in a couple VdA games previously (including one on this same 1806 campaign - I was Soult in that one). Willing to play either side, any level of command. Thanks.

As to the rules, a briefing sheet will be sent out to all participants.  This will be joined by unit cards indicating the troops commanded.

The author asks that the rules themselves not be shared so I honor this, but they're not particularly complicated.  Much more will be forthcomingt early next week when the rolls close.

I would like to have a few extras in case we have dropouts, but we're at an excellent number.

Post by: Lancer4321 on September 17, 2016, 01:28:28 PM
So, what's the procedural format for this game going to be?

In the previous games of VdA which I've played, all in-game communications were routed through the umpire (generally via private e-mail) to ensure that an appropriately thick "fog-of-war" was maintained. Direct player-to-player communications (even when their in-game personnas were co-located) were strictly forbidden and there was no common forum (like this) where information could be openly shared. Are you planning to handle this is a similar manner, or do you envision a more open seminar/group methodology?
Title: Re: Six Days in October -- A "Le Vol de L'Aigle" Forum Kriegsspiel
Post by: Cyrano on September 17, 2016, 01:48:19 PM
Lancer -- Strict communication through private e-mail will be the way of things.  Might as well book in that the address will be JenaCampaignATgmailDOTcom.  Pleased that was available.

I anticipate a brief period at the beginning for organization and coordination between the commander and subordinates -- planned course of action and all that -- after which comms go dark and everybody loses everybody else unless they're within 10km of one another.   This is, of course, entirely honor system, but, as there's greater glory in losing bravely than in winning knavishly, I should think that little problem.

The only thing I'm still working out with the management is how to provide a look in for those not playing on the game's progress.

That may have to be honour system as well. I was planning on doing some kind of DAR while the game was going but it'll have to be honour system for others to not read it until the game is done.

Just in case folks were following this thread, I still need to hear from three of the Prussian commanders over in the organizational thread...lest I have to dip into the reserve!

Maybe they stopped for directions on the way to the battle? ;D

Given the Prussians' historical performance, that's not have so fanciful as your laughy-face suggests...

I have no idea what I'm doing, or will be doing, but that's never stopped me before.

Have roles/sides been assigned yet? If so, I haven't received any notice of such.

Are we supposed to be monitoring some other folder, or is this the main place to find out "here's what's going on with the game"?

Yer supposed to have sent an email to Cyrano with your contact info. He's already sent out some info to us.

Little bit baffled that I have somehow become a senior Prussian Commander...especially given that I have no idea how this game works, what I am supposed to do and how....so I guess I am the prefect candidate for the Prussian Command ;D
