The folks at Inkwell produce Hexographer, a rather nice-cross platform mapping program that I used for the main Duchy of Elland map. They're also working on a new project, Cityographer - it's mostly designed for RPGs, but I could definitely see a use for it in skirmish games.
If this interests you, they're generating funding via Kickstarter, and all pledges would no doubt be welcome - I have pledged. If not, and you know folks it might interest, please do pass the link on.

Vive l'Empereur!

Wednesday marked the start of what promises to be an interesting campaign, courtesy of Gavin and a mix of folks I know from the club and folks I've not met before, but are part of his regular gaming circle.
I'll not steal his thunder, as the superb web-based campaign system is his doing and he's blogging about it in detail: but I will note that this promises to be fun, though I'm a little nervous about being the overall french commander of eight whole Corps.
My first set of orders went in today, and the master map (at least, as far as I can see it from my viewpoint) is ready to be updated with reports from the field. The plan is, I gather, that battles will be fought using variously Principles of War and Grand Armée in 6mm, and possibly, if we have a brigade-sized skirmish, I might petition to see if we can give Napoleon At War a crack.
All in all, I'm looking forward to this. Watch this space, although updates will be, perforce, a little behind, partly because it's Gavin's show and partly because, well, les Anglais might be reading!

WAB army management
Just knocked together a 'Numbers' (Apple's spreadsheet in iWork) document to manage WAB army lists. It uses a few tricks that won't translate to Excel (purely for cosmetic purposes), and needs a bit of cleaning up and documentation, but I'm quite pleased with it.
Also reveals that I might have been 40 points over last night at the club, but hey - we got trounced. Battle report to follow when I get the pics off the iPhone.
