JTS Wellington's Peninsular War Released

[Hoplite1963]

I have been eagerly awaiting this title since “Bonaparte’s Peninsular War” came out and will certainly be getting it today. It looks as if Richard White has done a really good job here.

I do however also wonder if we are now at the end of the line for the Napoleonic series bar the aspirations to do add on’s for some of the existing titles (like “Campaign 1814” and “Republican Bayonets on the Rhine”) that have been hinted at by their scenario designers in the past.

With all the major campaigns of the Napoleonic era covered I wonder if it is time to think what else the series’s engine might be used for? With little or no modifications I think the engine would adapt well for other wars in the first half of the 19th Centaury from the South American Wars of independence up to until around 1860.

Having played a number of the Russo Swedish War scenarios that came with Campaign Bautzen I would even suggest that its game engine is very suitable for employment for 18th and 19th Century smaller wars as well.
