Marlburian Commander

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Marlburian Commander” (MC) is an adaptation of our Napoleonic rules “Divisional Commander”. The tactics of the Marlburian era, which embraced the Nine Years War and the War of the Spanish Succession (approx.1688 – 1720), evolved intothose of the Seven Years War and,still later, into those of the Napoleonic period. However, players used to the grand tactics of the 1800’s may well find that those of the 1700’s are slightly more ‘pedestrian’.

This said, in the days leading up to Marlborough, rigid linear formations were the rule on the battlefield, and most maneuvering was undertaken before the lines of battle were formed - after this, there was very little. However, tactics and strategy develop very quickly in times of war; in the case of the War of the Spanish Succession, linear tactics began to embrace more flexible formations, to increase firepower and enhance control.

We have retained the mechanisms that gave Divisional Commander a unique system of passing orders to the individual units in the field but have loosened the concentration on the chai of command. Also retained are the unit and commander characteristics which allow players a measure of customization to their armies and the use of disruption rather than casualties to represent the diminishing potency of units in the field.

The new aspects of MC include rules to cover national tactical doctrines – infantry in either “firing-by-rank utilize either shock, firepower or a mixture of the two, depending on the military teaching of their  country. Artillery is less maneuverablethan in the Napoleonic era, with contracted civilian drivers who take the guns to their position and then  retire to a safer location.

All this is represented in the game design.

Players who are already familiar with Divisional Commander will have little trouble absorbing the MC concepts and systems and, for those who have not tried Divisional Commander, they should find MC an absorbing and rewarding wargames experience

Included Army list for all the Major Nations of the era.

Included High Resolution Cover & Back cover.

I'm just amazed the publishers are asking 46.00 dollars for a 59 page .pdf.

Actually, there are large differences. Mostly to do with maneuver. Fredrick revolutionized musketeer battalion deployments, and cavalry use. There is also the early use of horse artillery and the standardisation of field artillery.

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.
