Great Northern War Campaign...the beginnings

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.
