Im a Napoleonic miniatures player and have done the 1809 campaign multiplayer - took about 2 years with our local Napoleonics wargame club (many of whom have passed on now) - is this doable with two people who would have the game ? Or is a 3rd party needed ?

What I mean is it playable as two player PBEM with the tactical battles resolved outside the game system and then input into it ?

HOw about maps for the tactical part and timing / order of arrival and multi day battles (a la Wagram)

N1813 1/10 but should have been 10/10 if they had hired the right team.

Oh, man..... what a tragedy that game was.

It had SO much potential, and I was really looking forward to it. Then... I remember I won my first game (can't remember the scenario, now) easily, without even bothering with such things as recruiting more troops etc. So I pushed up the difficulty to max... still didn't bother with "trivia" such as recruitment and supply and still won easily. I remember watching a Corps of Prussians spending a game year marching up and down the same 50 km of road while I sent Davout on a casual march to capture Berlin [:(]

Never played it again... I think the team was fine (the team was disbanded on "completion"), it was just a classic publisher's "kick the game out the door six months too early" job.


Back on topic 6-7/10 Make that the 7 because of value for money, but even so it doesn't quite hit the spot. Hard to say why, really.. although the UI could be a lot better.

Did you know that there is a patch 1.2.2 and sourcecode at SourceForge ?

So go and fix all problems [:)] and make it 10/10

Thank you all for your responses on this forum. I have added this game to my list of games I need.
