1-210993

Introducing Volume Three of Supplementary Wargaming Rules, with 25-28mm scale miniature figures and models. Covers scenarios such as balloon attacks and parachute landings, as an alternative history of Napoleon's invasion of England.

A history of the French revolution balloon unit, with wargaming rules; that is also applicable to the American civil war balloon units. An additional set of alternative history wargaming rules and scenarios based on actual plans, that never got-off the ground so to speak are also part of this new book.

This volume contains a general overview of the history of military ballooning during the revolutionary and later Napoleonic wars; and descriptions of the balloons used, and their operations.

Using both historical events and scenarios based on alternative and fictional history, these supplementary rules have been written to develop a range of possible wargaming scenarios, with historical backgrounds as examples, and some rules based on these events. These are intended to include within larger games, or as small role-plays.
