My game One Hour Napoleon is on Kickstarter now.
When designing this game I was trying to cram the Napoleonic Wars, 1805 to 1815, into a one hour game.
This meant being ruthless with the size of the map.
I cut it down to the absolute bare minimum number of spaces to still represent the key decisions of these wars.
I eventually settled on 23 spaces, including land and sea.
I'm happy with how it turned out. The major campaigns from the time can still be played out at strategic level.
To give a further idea of the scale - the entire French army is represented as 10 pieces. 3 to 5 of them in one space would constitute the Grande Armee in something like the Russian campaign. 1 to 3 of them will often be tied up in the Peninsula. Others will be scattered around as garrisons or fighting in secondary theatres like Italy.
When cutting game time is a priority you have to be ruthless!
Have a look at the game here:

@Steel_Accord91@martianwyrdlord From another point of view: he want all, to control all and everyone. An external force outside of the galaxy? An enemy to crush, for sure. Not good....
