We play using HITS (10 yds radius) and couriers with no spoken communications allowed in-game unless its to discuss technical problems. In addition to this there are hidden sub-forums for the Allied and French teams on the KS forums. The campaign forum at the Kriegspiel site: The Peninsular Campaign thread at the NSD forums: We are currently at March 1809 and Napoleon has just secured Madrid after a hard winter campaign and a terrible battle at Somosierra Pass in which the Polish Light Horse were as spectacularly prominent as they were in history. We've been playing for over 2 years now and the campaign involves around 20 players at any one time, though many more than this have participated over the months. The KS Group is currently fighting the Peninsular War 1808-1814 using PBEM and umpire-adjudicated rules, each turn of which covers two weeks, and using SoW:WL to resolve the battles in MP. We have announcement and support threads for the mod on NSDs forums but our home is at the KriegSpiel forum:Īt the NSD forum there is an images thread to showcase some of the different nations and years supported in the mod:Ī thread showing a Russian-French 1812 MP battle:
The mod has been tested with and is compatible with patch v1.043. The mod is currently at v1.15, with the supporting Sprites Mod at v1.02 and the Supplementary Maps Mod at v1.09. We moved the basic structure of the mod over to Waterloo when that was released in summer 2015. The mod was originally written four years ago for SoW Gettysburg and a was a complete Napoleonic overhaul for that game. We have included many of the free add-on maps that were made for SoW:Gettysburg by NSD or the modding community and we are constantly adding more maps.
The GUI (user interface) has also been given a complete overhaul and is, we think, more user friendly now and more comprehensive in terms of formations you can use and courier orders options you can send. Almost all the nations of the Napoleonic wars are represented with a couple of notable exceptions and some minor nations still to be covered. The KS Mod makes considerable changes to gameplay and AI behaviour as well as introducing numerous new weapon types, sprites and maps. We have a thread for the mod over at the NSD forums: I'd like to promote the KS (KriegSpiel) Mod for SOW:WL here, if I may.
