It seems like we might have a game that might be more fun and have a better AI than CA's ETW. While the graphics cannot surpass NTW and ETW, as long as the game is fun enough, I would be eager to buy that game.Histwar is a strategic and tactical computer game that allows you to put on the cocked hat of a Napoleonic army commander and lead troops across many of the most famous battlefields of the early 19th century. Tens of thousands of 3D soldiers organized into regiments and corps will be waiting to carry out your orders in real time.
Currently being developed, soon published by BATTLEFRONT, Histwar: Les Grognards is a tactical wargame that will allow you to re-fight Napoleonic battles between French, Russian, and Austrian forces along with allies from Wurttemberg, Saxony, Poland, Italy, and Naples. Les Grognards will ship with a dozen major battles (including Austerlitz, Eylau, Friedland, Wagram, Borodino). It will also include two editors for creating your own maps and Orders of Battle. Players will be able to square-off with human opponents in two modes: Multiplayer or Play-by-Email (PBEM).
Play as Napoleon and lead the Grande Armée to glory and empire, or take command of the Coalition forces and try to block his path.
