RE: Napoleon In.....? (wishlist for next title)

2. Napoleon in Poland - no Jena needed, enough territory, movements, battles in the winter 1806-07 and then next spring up to Friedland.
 
4. Napoleon in Russia too - if the game is flexible enough to adapt from tiny Northern Italy to the vast Russia.

RE: Mods for Battlegrounds' Matrix Edition

But I still hope Matrix Games is wise and makes the game files compatible. There is not a big BG gaming community, if it is divided into two "groups" (TS and MG) I fear there won't be enough interest for the game.
