RE: Napoleon in Russia Project
@trauth116
Would be nice if you would do a blog post about "research, citations, multiple sources, and reconciling accounts, as well as tracing sources", I'm sure that could be handy for everyone who wants to contribute to such a project or any history project at all.
I myself have given a lot feedback over the years, I think most covering WW2 for the TOAW series scenarios but I never did this in a "professional" way, I just grabbed any source that covered the topic that had to be researched and after forming my own picture I gave my feedback.
I guess there are better and more effective ways to do it, so any enlightenment is welcome.

I agree that this forum is the best spot for PC because the dev forum is quite dead and the PC wargame club dissolved many years ago. Also I myself give Ed feedback for his France 14 scenarios here as there is simply no other place to go.
But I doubt it for Napoleonics, I see some familiar names that may have been playtesters for the series but the main designer(Bill Peters) is not here I think, also none of the officials from HPS or JTS.
Also when looking at the active player base, well 65 players for all the games that the "Black Powder & Cold Steel" ladder covers is not much and I bet the majority of it are Civil War players.
Anyhow if this forms into a serious project to rework the historical Waterloo scenario, I will make sure that the other club also knows about, I'm sure they appreciated any work on improving Waterloo and some will surely participate.
For my part I surely will volunteer as playtester, as French fanboy I'm curious how much a better position will impact the battle.
