Title: HistWar: Les Grognards - Its about damn time!
Post by: DREDIOCK on August 31, 2009, 07:05:55 AM
There are very few games I've anxiously awaited their release. This game is one of them.

HistWar: Les Grognards
The anniversary of the birth date of Napoleon Bonaparte, today, 15th of August, was chosen as the announcement (and reconfirmation) of the release of HistWar Les Grognards. The game has been in development for nearly 10 years (!) by historian and game developer Jean-Michel Mathé and his team, and we are proud and thrilled to announce that HistWar: Les Grognard will be available for download at the end of summer (Q3/2009) through the website of the exclusive publisher Battlefront (www.battlefront.com).

true Grognards can play with historical communication times (via rider/messenger for example) that can take up to two hours; organizing an army corps of 40000 men necessitates a little bit of time.

Now that sounds great  :aok

Ah, Napolean. The last time the French Army was actually relevant. ;)

err... the only thing I see that beats empire:total war is the map tactical display and the way the AI handles orders to the troops.

Aside from that, E:TW has everything else and then some.
