Burgundian Wars ~ Campaigns

[greywulf]

I am thinking of doing a campaign. But since it would be only me and my Bro playing this is it possible to do?

I have seen that in the 2.2 rule book the campaign requires at least 3 players.

How would I do this campaign?

the Armies involved would be any of the following:

Side A: Swiss Confederation ~ Hans von Hallwyl, Hans Waldmann, Adrian von Bubenberg,René II, Duke of Lorraine

Later Swiss IV/79 1400AD~1522AD

Side B:Burgundy ~ Duke Charles, Jacques, Duke of Savoy

Burgundian Ordonnance IV/84 1471AD~1477AD
Free Company or Armagnac IV/74 1357AD~1410AD & 1444AD
Medieval French IV/64 (b) or (c) 1330AD~1445AD

The Battle of Morat was a battle in the Burgundy Wars fought June 22, 1476 between Charles I, Duke of Burgundy and a Swiss army at Murten (French: Morat), about 30 kilometers from Bern.

Any ideas on this ?

The Burgundian Army had been routed at the Battle of Grandson. after Charles the bold had murdered 412 swiss men and boys as a way in which to break the swiss soldiers. instead it galvinised them into an army that crushed him at the Battle of Morat.

After the Swiss routed the Burgundian army they won many riches including a large amount of artillery.

Thx for any ideas or help on this topic. :D

The easiest way would be to use a linear campaign in which the consequence of each victory has a defined output in terms of progress in teh campaign and reinforcements received - in effect a best of three or five battles with consequences of each battle cascading down.

A campaign option we have tried with smaller numbers is to have a primary and secondary army for each player. Each player controls their primary army but the secondary army is run using the programmed leader options from the Fanaticus Resources Page.

If it is just you and your bro and you don't want to create your own 4 army map then maybe it could be two secondary armies each.
