  • First attempt at making a video for people to learn how to play GMT's board game "The Napoleonic Wars". Think I covered all the major stuff and some of the minor stuff although it's not an exhaustive list of every rule in the game.
    Had some trouble with the headset, so sorry the volume dips a few times. And then it cut out about 30 seconds before the end, but all that last bit was going to say is that there aren't very many super-powered events, and I already covered the biggest one (the one that forces someone to Capitulate mid-turn if their capital is captured).
    I may or may not ever get around to uploading a better and more polished version....

      There were plans in the works for a 3rd edition a while back. I'm not sure if that's going to happen or not though.

    Thanks great learning video. Volume was very low/variable, for future reference.

      Yes, I noticed that there is a chunk in the middle where the volume suddenly drops quite a bit. I recorded it all in one evening with just a few pauses and never messed with the mic or volume settings while doing it, so I have no idea how that happened.

    I see now the thinking behind your question elsewhere about an adjective for "UK". In Napoleonic times, and much later, sensitivities were not as acute as they are nowadays, and you could certainly have used "England " and "English", even though many of the soldiers were Scottish etc. After all, Nelson's famous signal at Trafalgar was "England expects every man to do his duty". It would have been laughable to hoist "The UK expects ....". Kings were generally called "The King of England", never "The King of Britain".
    For a long time after this even, the Welsh in particular were happy to be counted as "English", and indeed "England and Wales" is still a unit for many purposes. Into the 1960s, and I don't know how much later, the choice of a history syllabus in schools was "English History" or "European History". But "English History" was in effect British history. In Scotland and Ireland, they taught "Scottish History" and "Irish History", which were similar but included events more specific to those countries, especially in mediaeval times (when Scotland, of course, was a well-established separate kingdom).
    I have made this sound very insular, but "English History" did include clashes with foreign countries. Not, however, clashes between foreign countries which did not include England; whereas European History did not go into the details of British elections etc. So all the details of the war of some succession would be a matter for European History, whereas English History would deal much more with the British ministers at the time if Britain did get involved in part of such a war, for its own reasons.
