NAPOLEON: RULE OF IRON is a tactical real-time strategy game where you can command Napoleon Bonaparte's most epic historical battles in 1:1 scale. At the battle of Borodino you will see 200.000 actual soldier models on screen engaging in vicious ranged and melee combat. At the battle of Leipzig even up to 500.000. Of course this depends on how well you do in the campaign.
The Campaign follows the story of Napoleon Bonaparte and his largest battles from Toulon to Waterloo: Fight in Italy, Egypt, Europe, Spain and Russia. This doesn't mean that the outcome is clear: there are three alternate endings, two of which are fictitious. Between battles you can manage your Grand Armée: buy supplies, recruit and disband infantry, cavalry and artillery and organize them into Corps. Units can gain experience over the course of the campaign and become your Old Guard. One of them can even bear an imperial eagle standard that inspires nearby soldiers - but be careful. Once it is lost to the enemy it is lost forever. Before each battle there is an immersive briefing and Napoleon will hold a speech infront of your army. The real-time battles give you full tactical control over historical formations like infantry and cavalry divisions and artillery batteries (up to 5000 rendered soldiers or 50 guns each). The maps were carefully reconstructed using NASA satellite data and historical records (though sometimes adjusted for gameplay reasons).

WOW. Amazing.It will be interesing to see if this has all the mechanics needed to do a good job of simulating napoleonic warfare.
Ok, after seeing the devs state that the formations are so deep so they could fit all the soldiers on the map, I am much less interested. It seems that realism has been compromised to be able to boast a 1:1 soldier ratio even though the game itself does not seem large enough to support those numbers.
