New Scenarios for Napoleon's Battles 3rd Ed?


Lost Battalion Games has published 10 "New" Scenarios for Napoleon's Battles 3rd ed. (NBIII). The Scenarios have been designed so their look is consistent with the new NBIII. Some have been published in previous editions: NBI and its expansions (Red and Blue books) or NBII, so actually only 'Medina de Rioseco' is new!
I have made a complete (I hope!) relation of the "official" Scenarios designed for Napoleon's Battles and endorsed by Coggins and Craig:

  1. Rafael,

    Thank you for the interesting blogs and the NB information. I think you left off one of the "official" scenarios: #18 "Villa Costa 1812" that was published in The Courier magazine #58. It is a fictitious meeting engagement set in Spain, written by Coggins and Taylor.

    Cheers,
    Ed
