Maybe something to think about (WDS or another publisher?)

[-72-]

I don't know what all his plans might be, but I do know that Paul Bruffell, who is the driving force behind Marching Eagles (also does the programming I am pretty sure), was listed in the last WDS blog post/newsletter on the Quarterly Update.

I don't know what all that exactly means in terms of developing material at HPS at a publisher, so it is probably one of those 'stay tuned' situations.

Fwiw, I'd imagine the more limited amount of terrain that you'd need would make the maps pretty doable, by comparison to the current grand tactical scales.

There was also a company that started out trying the Revolution at a similar scale- think their one offering was called: Washington's Crossing - or something similar (on the Trenton -and I assume Princeton) campaigns of the Winter 1776-77. IIRC that was 1 mile per hex, although I'm not claiming that it is a Revolution version of the Great Battles of the American Civil War Series. I do have a couple of those - Roads to Gettysburg II, and the older Grant Takes Command (both unpunched- in one case, was 'holding out' for the reprint of Stonewall Jackson's Way II -although probably closer to the truth is that I simply have nowhere big enough to play them).

I don't think that the map sizes would be all that onerous, although I don't know that doing the entire war at 1 mile per hex is actually all that realistic, but probably more so by theater.... so like Virginia - southern Pennsylvania - that probably is, as is The Mississippi from around Cairo through to New Orleans maybe, and Nashville past Atlanta. And add on areas that connect places - like the Tennessee/Cumberland River valleys - starting around the Cairo to Memphis area (I imagine you can envision some connecting points) just by that.

Man if you can do that much .... maybe it is doable as a whole. Or maybe have connection pints between major theaters. A lot to think about, to be sure. At the moment I am working on a submap from the Shenandoah title -and that one is 659 x 1127 hexes -so I mean space seems to work out reasonably well.

I am not sure about production, but as it applies to logistics, -I can see that too - how do you produce and get ammo/powder to your armies.  Transit -so railing around (And rail capacity limitations).

-I think I know what title it was from another publisher -and you know in all seriousness, all I saw was another version of Panzer General, and what you are talking about is an entirely different animal :). I like the idea.
