The campaign involves 8 players. The On to Moscow game begins in the spring of 1708. Each turn represents a season and is divided into three pulses, each pulse the equivilent of a month of campaigning. The Swedes, led by Charles XII, begin in Poland and fortresses in the Baltic. The Russians, under the command of Peter the Great occupy a series of fortresses opposite the Swedes. The Swedes also have a fleet that can ferry troops around the Baltic.
Movement is of individual units during each impulse is variable, based on time of year and whether they have a leader attached. If a unit attempts to march it might march normally, march with attrition, fall back, forced march or march to the sound of the guns.

Great Northern War Campaign
We're starting a Great Northern War campaign using the On to Moscow boardgame for the strategic moves and the Carnage and Glory Marlburian computer moderated tactical system to resolve the tactical encounters. We'll begin with Spring, 1707. Each turn represents a season, with each season divided into three impulses. These impulses represent a month of time. In addition to players in the role of Charles XII and Peter the Great there are four players commanding various elements of the Swedish and Russian armies.
