I recently found my disc for the HPS game The French and Indian War, A John Tiller Game.
I only tried this once before pbem with a blitz player and it was put into this sector (Napoleonic). We did not finish the game as we tried to do one battle on too big a scale and just lost interest in completing it. I do not even remember who it was.
We used the 1758 campaign and both selected the same strategy so that all our forces met for a single battle. It worked but took hours for each turn to move the many units around.
It has several interesting campaigns and all on a smaller scale than the one we tried.
In view of the recent programs on the history channel and books that came out during the past couple of years there might be some interest in this game.
If anyone out there owns the game and wants to try a campaign just e-mail me or respond to this.
