Join us for a special SDHistCon Online event as I sit down with acclaimed designer Paolo Mori (Blitzkrieg!, Pandemic: Fall of Rome) to learn and play his self-published system: Battlefields of the Napoleonic Wars.
In this elegant and fast-paced take on Napoleonic warfare, Paolo distills grand battles into sharp tactical showdowns across a series of small, scenario-driven maps. Stripping things down to bold maneuvers, timing, and bluffing, this minimalist system captures the tension and drama of Napoleonic command without the usual overhead. It’s wargaming through Paolo’s signature design lens — clever, streamlined, and full of surprises.
Tireless designer David Thompson (the Undaunted series, War Story, Night Witches, and countless more) is joined by questionable historian Stuart Ellis-Gorman to discuss the historical background to David’s latest (and first ever American Civil War) game: Rebels Against Rebellion, to be published by Flying Pig Games. They will discuss how David came to pick this topic, Southern loyalism in the American Civil War, the challenges in representing nineteenth-century guerilla warfare, and when David is finally going to design that Gettysburg game everyone wants him to do, among other topics.
