I must to tell that Im a
ocassional player that like read and talk about history, but Im not a core gamer.
Its a time to the letter a Santa? Ok here I go with my cristmas whish:
I buy your Napoleon campaigns game and it is beautifull but I need:
-to play it in my low cost NETBOOK (for example ASUS EEE or MSI wind).
-to play simple as your game about Amerian revolution, but your Napoleonic with Army corps and divisions etc is more difficult.
-simpliest and beauty 2D graphics as now, and less saturation information screen, and I need a Tactical 2D animation (window or screen) as genial solved by Panzer general I (and repeated by Panzer Tactics DS) please!!
and yes I agree IMO, and excuse me please Phil, your game
is difficult to mod because we do not have friendly editors to do it.
OK. Now Im talk about my dream. You remember that I tell you a years ago about Hispanic American wars of independence. Here it is
the only two wargames about Hispanic revolution that I know exist:
Liberators!
Liberators! is a wargamer's guide to the Wars of South American Independence.Each volume has a brief history of the fighting in the covered theatre, army organizations, complete uniformology and numerous ready to play scenarios. Much of the information in Liberators! is published in English for the first time.

"A balanced, well researched, and exquisite guide to possibly the most obscure series of conflicts of the horse and musket era" - Brendan Morrissey

AUTOR: John Fletcher. Nationality:american. (IMO:great person who like to help in this periods)
War to death!
Warfare took place from the remote northern border with America to the tip of the continent now shared by Chile and Argentina. Progress ebbed and flowed, with territories changing hands several times and the intensity and size of battles slowly escalating.
The overall war is a fascinating struggle of varied elements, from Spanish and "Royalist" troops to formed patriot units, militias, armed mobs, Indians, and mercenaries. Actions include slave revolts, naval assaults, guerilla war, battles with a hostile environment, and the interplay of politics with economics...all depicted and intermeshed to affect overall play as they affected real events. The game offers a map from "New Spain" to "Rio de la Plata," with area movement, one-year turns, and 280 half-inch counters.
