Source of game style?

Frank Hunter's Campaigns on the Danube is an operational study of the campaigns along the Danube in 1805 and 1809. Campaigns on the Danube's system focuses on trying to present the player with the same sort of decisions placed on their historical counterparts; how to feed an army and move that army according to a plan, all the while trying to fight a campaign. There is also an option to allow players to play out the battles with miniatures and input the results.

Source of game style?

Post by altipueri »

I found this article which is resonant of COTD in the use of terms like "stragglers, line of communication, hospital" together with the list of march destinations for the various corps.

I love the style and some withering remarks that probably cannot be made today.

Good find, lots of information and you do find that the game captures the 'feel' of the historical events. [:)]

Yes this sort of info really adds to the flavour of COTD.
