Absolute Emperor- Osprey Wargaming Series
« on: November 30, 2020, 09:24:24 PM »
Absolute Emperor is by Boyd Bruce. It is a game of Napoleonic Wargaming. I think that sums it up BUT it is going to be part of the Osprey Wargaming Series and probably OWG27? This is slated to come out in May of 2021 and has some potential cover art on the book.

So, anyone heard any more about this system and the designer?  Is there some place I can go for more info, preferably non-Facebook?

Found some on Amazon - A set of mass battle rules for wargaming in the Napoleonic Wars, allowing players to refight the battles that shaped Europe.

From the late Revolutionary Wars and Egyptian campaign, to the battles of Austerlitz, Borodino, Leipzig and Waterloo, Absolute Emperor is a mass battle wargame that provides all the rules needed to play during this period of grand armies and sweeping campaigns. Players' armies are composed of multiple corps, with command and control being of the utmost importance, all influenced by the elan of your general. Do you follow in the footsteps of Napoleon and be crowned the Absolute Emperor or stand against tyranny as Wellington and Blücher.

Scheduled to be published in May 25, 2021. I've been happy enough with Osprey rules from Dan Mersey's stable. Hopefully this will be one of the rulebooks that clicks, and not one of the others.
And the glorious general led the advance
With a glorious swish of his sword and his lance
And a glorious clank of his tin-plated pants. - Dr. Seuss
