I was looking to simplify an Imagi-Nations campaign loosely based on the napoleonic era and have pulled out some great ideas from this I want to try. Eventually I may try them all, but I'll do a little at a time. Your campaign movement system card-based is still the best I've seen, and the concept of SP's has simplified the "accounting" part of managing your forces and in a realistic way. The Central Reserve is a great way to manage reinforcements. Simple and clean.
