Free Blucher Campaign (1809)

1/13/2025

11 Comments

 
Last week Tom & Greg reviewed the 2015 big battle rules Blucher, published by Sam Mustafa. If you missed the review, CHECK IT OUT, but in that review we briefly mentioned our old 1809 Danube campaign. This was a large campaign event run in the club ten years ago, organized and developed by Tom when Blucher first came out. Back then, we were all very excited about the new game and wanted to tackle a monster campaign. 
Well, it seems some of you keyed in on that topic and have asked to see the campaign rules. Let no one ever say Little Wars TV doesn't deliver you Free Stuff! Tom has agreed to give away his campaign and make it available right here for anyone who wants to try. This includes his Blucher theater map, the rules, and an Excel file with the orders of battle.

Absolutely excellent work there. I’ve been wanting to run a campaign based on the 1809 Austrian/French battles, since massing loads of 6mm Baccus miniatures. Can’t wait to get this to the table.

Thank you so much guys! Just what I need for my own wargaming plans. One question I do have - what are the green lines on the map denoting?

Comparing the map to historical map of the area, I think the blue lines are major rivers and green lines are the minor rivers

Thanks very much! How many units would you say you actually had painted (assuming it's not the full ~150 [hoping])?

Thanks a million for this. 1809 was my first wargames campaign that I put together for a few friends about 35 years ago. No internet or fancy graphics then, so it'll be great to revisit.
