It seems like the scale though will be almost unrecognisable for the way napoleonic armies were organised.
What happens when you get to the grand battery or an army concentrating their cavalry? Brigades are not always so cosmopolitan as they seem to be in these screenshots.
It's going to be interesting and I am still very interesting though.

One of the things I picked up in a screenshot was that you could either play Russia or "the enemy". I think the game will be from a Russian army perspective for that campaign. It seems like you can play either side in each battle, but perhaps there will only be a proper campaign for one side?

P.s. I have a very vague memory of another Napoleonic game that also had horses that looked like burly unicorns for cavalry. I never saw that one pop up again. Could this game be it?

From the forums:
"No, the battle involves 3-7 units, each unit is an infantry battalion (600-800 men) or a cavalry regiment (600-800 men) or an artillery battery (6-12 guns)
Unread"

The game is on sale now for $30 aud. I am still hesitant. Wonder if their are any reviews out yet.
