Le Roi Soleil scenario pack
Posted: Fri Sep 25, 2015 7:26 pm
Is there going to be a scenario pack that showcases some of the armies in Le Roi Soleil ?
I think one or more scenarios covering the battle of Vienna would be generally welcomed, Poland/Lithuania and the Scanian War could provide many interesting battles, and then there's always the battle of the Boyne.
The other thing that could be interesting to think about (though difficult to implement) would be a set of fully developed siege menchanics. I still have fond memories of an old SPI game from the 'seventies on siege warfare which didn't use hexes (or anything else !) on its map, and where you concentrated on digging concentric lines of parallels until you had set up good bombardment positions, after which you would try to open a breach by mining or bombardment. The siege of Candia comes to mind.
