Welcome to new "The General HQ"  Napoleonic Campaigns site.
This campaign site has the current campaign that is active using both Histwar Les Grognards for battle and Empires in Arms for the Grand Startegic play.
HWLG can have as many player commanders as there where Army or Corps commanders.
EiA will only have players who represent head of state which will require at most seven players. But can be run with fewer.

The only historical referance in these campaigns is the at start parrameters that occured historically, so you are free to make your own history in these Campaigns 

The reasons that we use Histwar Les Grognards for battle is because of the features below.
