Tis the night .....

Crown of Glory: Europe in the Age of Napoleon, the player controls one of the crowned potentates of Europe in the Napoleonic Era, wielding authority over his nation's military strategy, economic development, diplomatic relations, and social organization. It is a very thorough simulation of the entire Napoleonic Era - spanning from 1799 to 1820, from the dockyards in Lisbon to the frozen wastes of Holy Mother Russia.

I am looking forward to COG as well. But for me, a year ago Witp was the one I was so antsy over. [:D]

I'd suggest not doing that until you know for sure it will be ready by then. Nothing more frustrating than not being able to get something when you thought it would be available! [8D]

I don't break for lunch until 1pm EDT. I will be checking the boards noon time to see if the game is available (besides, my place of residence is just around the corner from work). [:D]

Sounds great!

The only thing you're missing out on is high speed internet, otherwise, sounds like a great place to live. [:)]
