The screenshots look decent but to tell you the truth the Sid Meier engine always did the trick for me. I still enjoy Gettysburg, Antietam, Waterloo, and Austerlitz, and the ability to do a quick random battle in each of these allows me to quickly whip up a divisional battle when I have some spare time.
I know the graphics are not as photorealistic as the new releases, but the gameplay is tops.

Thanks for putting me on to this new game, BASB! [:)]
Looks great, maybe the game that Imperial Glory should have been. The only problem I see so far (and it could be a big one) is that (as far as I can find out) it's in realtime! I would have much preferred the traditional CM style of a planning phase followed by simultaneous action. Still, definitely one to watch.

OOOOH les grognards....been following this game already for a year. Thanks, they said indeed they had a distributor on their site.
They weren't too happy that I gave a link to this site. Not because they hate us but because they just had a distributor for their game, of whom they thought wouldn't be too happy with it. Understandable, although I explained to them that CoG is a totally different catogorie.
