1)Ten years of RTS playing has rotted my brain. Kriegspiel’s clever supply line system renders my usual instinctive probe/attack/defend/flank wargame approach all-but useless. Protecting and constructing supply lines is everything in this game.

2) I’d be interested to play a variant where cut-off forces lose their ability to fight but not their ability to move. The current rules kinda ignore the ability Napoleonic armies had to live off the land.

3) This is probably sacrilegious (sorry Guy) but I’d also be interested to play a variant where combat included a small random factor. At the end of a round you could choose to attack any unit within range of your forces, each side’s attack/defence totals being modified by a single six-sided die roll. That dash of chance might help make the game a little less intimidating/brutal.
