"Well, I shall add my two Franc's, usually the French play the French and the Allied Officer play the lessor troops." Taking a swig from my glass, I continue, "As for the battlefield I have Leipzig, Waterloo, Eylau, Eckmuhl, Russian Campaign and Wellingtons Pennisular Campaigns on my computer. I am partial to Leipzig and Eckmuhl has some large maps." Shivering, I continue, "I'm not a fan of the snow in Elyau, But..." with a smile, "I shall play whatever is decided upon."

I have all of the HPS/JTS games (still have to upgrade Waterloo to the latest, but that won't take long). Happy to let others choose the game and scenario. I, too, presume that French play French and those others play the other side, but happy to mix it up if wanted. How experienced are everyone with group play?

Hi, it looks like Mike and Mark as French and Erin and Allen as Allies, is that correct?
I would like to play Leipzig and it looks like that's acceptable to all.
Please French officers pick a scenario from Leipzig, one that is large with lots of room to maneuver.

Leipzig is fine with me. I've never played a MP but envision 1st player of a team moves his share of the army including all battles and shooting, manually saves the game, and emails it to his partner who moves the rest of the army and then hits the turn button and mails the file to the 1st opponent. With Leipzig, the allies could divide north/south or one be the Prussians, one the Austrians, and one the Russians. The Swedes go with one of the majors. If there are only 2 allies, I'm not sure which army is largest and should go it alone...the Russians or the Austrians? Probably the Russians. With the French, it doesn't matter because they just get beat up any way and Count Poniatowski should avoid the Elster river!

So it looks like its Erin and Allen against the French in Leipzig.
So French, if that's alright with you, what scenario do you guys want to play?

How about the whole shooting match of Leipzig, scenario 72 or 73? 3 days or 4!

If you are going to play the full battle, I would suggest using the Unleashed version. I don't remember off hand which one that is, but my guess would be 73.

I would also suggest three Coalition players. I think you divide the forces by area, not by Coalition nationality. This allows for much smoother MP play.

If that is the way ya'll go, I would be willing to participate as a Coalition officer in order to help teach MP play since it seems to be new to Erin and Allan. I would defer the position to Al Amos if he is still interested in playing since he has first dibs.
