This is one of the greatest tactical warfare video games ever made. It's a real shame this dev studio fell apart, this engine would have been perfect for a Napoleon game.

great game...I keep seeing more battles in campaign mode which is great even adding more battles would be sweet too....and a LIVE version where you can play against other players would be awesome!....was until I kept getting negative morale and cannot finish campaigns due to this bug

I just finished my first campaign, a lot of my playtime is AFK, I would estimate I have closer to 80 or 90 hours of playtime. Pros: - The battle physics are phenomenal. This game does an amazing job of simulating momentum. Every attack and charge has weight to it. I think the physics are better than the physics in Napoleon Total War. - I feel the combat in this game is much more realistic than in Total War. Your men will get tired if you march them back and forth. so you have to deliberately plan every action. Morale is also important. A smaller brigade with high morale and low fatigue can route a much larger brigade with a bayonet charge if the larger brigade is tired and has poor morale. - The devs prioritized historical accuracy when they designed their maps. Anyone who's read Shelby Foote's books about the civil war will immediately recognize the in game battle fields from the maps in Foote's book. - The game gives you a lot of weapons to chose from. Each loadout and unit type has its uses. I had fun experimenting with different compositions for my artillery. Cons: - The campaign is on a railroad. It doesn't matter if you kick Lee's ass every time you fight him in the Peninsula campaign you will always end up retreating back to DC. As other reviewers said the enemy AI will also always conjure soldiers out of thin air to ensure the historical battles can be fought. -Morale impacts only individual units and not the entire corp. Each corp as a whole will fight to the end as if they were Japanese soldiers from WW2. A corp could be reduced to just 2000 men, but those 2000 men will continue to hold out until their individual morale meter is shattered. -The AI conjuring soldiers from thin air and there not being an overall corp morale system leads to absurd casualty rates. In my campaign the total deaths from combat was 1 million. IRL the total deaths from diseases and combat combined was no more than 750k. -The game tries to make battles play out the same way they did IRL. This can lead to a lot of tedious waiting around if you have managed to defeat the enemy army before every βsceneβ in the battle has played out. - The battles are broken up into multiple scenes. In each scene you only have a limited view of the battle field. This makes coordinating attacks between your corps virtually impossible unless you've played each battle multiple times. -It's also not clear how many scenes are in each battle, so many times I take excessively high casualties. I feel like I have to act aggressively because I don't know how much time I truly have in each battle. All in all this was a pretty fun game, I don't regret paying full price for it but I'm not sure if I'll re-play it due to how railroaded it is.

Super cool game. Scaling for the opponent is busted and needs to be reworked. Why get punished bc you did a good job managing your troops in the campaign to have the programming negate that with an extra 30k+++ troops.
