Paris City of Light- Wargame and Campaign Rules for the Republican Phase of the Franco-Prussian War

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Following the defeat of the French regular army in the frontier battles, the surrounding of Marshal Bazaine in Metz and the defeat and capture of Napoleon III at Sedan the war was expected to end. Instead The French Empire was overthrown and a new Republic created to carry on the war.

With astounding speed new French armies were formed to continue the war using remnants of the old army, the garde mobiles and depot companies not overrun by the Germans. With these they attempted to harass and defeat the Germans besieging Paris. The Germans were themselves tied down in the siege of Metz and Paris and thus only had a small number of forces to hold back the French. It was to be a close run thing.....

Scope: Included are a set of corps and army level figure rules with a full colour Campaign system to fight the war. Thus your battles will have a context of when and why they were fought. There is also a system for fighting one-off battles.

Game Aids: 67 Gamebook of the history, campaign and battlefield rules, 2 pages of game and unit counters, 2 pages of French and Germans orders of battle, page of Campaign Action Cards, Campaign Calendar, Off map display for sieges of Paris and Metz, 2 Page Playsheet, Battlefield options cards, 3 pages of battlefield Fate Cards, 2 page Line of March Cards and 4 x A4 or 2 x A3 Colour Campaign Maps.

SCALES & BASING

  • Ground Scale: 1” = 100 metres. All combat and movement are by 10” squares or 1 km. So a battle is approx. 7 km x 5 kms

  • Table Size: 6 x 4 ft. up to 12 x 6 ft.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
