Throw Me a Bone

The Seven Years’ War was fought across the globe and called by some the first “World War” as virtually every major power participated. In the center of events was Prussia, almost constantly at war and lead by the now legendary Frederick the Great.

Relive the exciting and trying days of Frederick the Great in Horse and Musket: Volume I, the improved and expanded combination of the previous Prussian War Machine and Prussia’s Glory titles. Horse and Musket: Volume I is a reboot of the successful Horse and Musket series, including not only two solid historical titles in one package, but also many new game features, a powerful new editor, and a complete graphics overhaul to an already acclaimed gaming system.

What we have here is a failure to communicate.

Your idea of a bone is completely different than my idea of a bone.

Let me rephrase my request. Throw me a STEAK!

Come on hit the print screen a few times. Allow your Beta Testers to start posting. Get some AARs going. Breath some life into this fourm.

I was afraid you were wanting a bit more meat.[;)] I imagine there will be some screenshots in the near future.

Here is the update...

The game itself is 99% ready...a few minor things for the programmer to check out. These issues stem from the addition of a VERY comprehensive scenario data editor.

The graphics are coming a little slower...but progress each day.


I don't want to post another expected release date since I missed my summer expectation.
