New title this week!!!

[Sgt_Rock]

We looked at doing the Egyptian campaign but several factors decided against it:

1. Many of the actions were cavalry vs. infantry (Battle of the Pyramids) and who wants to fight cavalry vs. squares? I played a "mod" version of the Battle of the Pyramids some time back and it was deadly dull to play.

2. The terrain ... we would have to add in a "Desert" terrain folder. Not impossible but we are on a tight budget these days.

3. The images .. the Ottoman, French "desert" looking units, British and what not would add to the graphics list.

4. There were about six actions or battles in this campaign that were worth even making a scenario about. I just could not see asking John to spend the money on this. Some of the actions include:

Alexandria
Invasion landing by the British
Acre
Smaller actions in the Levant ...

I suppose that a future "Russians vs. Turks, Austrians vs. Turks" game (good luck on that ....) could include the Egyptian theater .... I know that I thought about such a game but it just wouldnt fly .....

Sorry guys .. I know that for many this is a exotic period of the Napoleonic Wars but we just didn't feel that we could justify the cost at this point.

Hope you enjoy Marengo! Its my favorite of the games to design and play!
