Aug. 2025
After 75+ hours of marching tiny soldiers across massive battlefields, I can confidently say this game has taught me three things: Flanking is life. Artillery solves everything (including bad decisions). My inner general is apparently part Napoleon, part coffee addict. The battles are intense, strategic, and sometimes hilariously chaotic-like when my cavalry heroically charges… in the wrong direction. But every victory feels earned, and every crushing defeat is a lesson (usually β€œdon’t march into cannons”). The campaign system is addictive, the attention to historical detail is impressive, and the satisfaction of outmaneuvering an army twice your size? Chef’s kiss. 10/10 – Would once again send men uphill into musket fire because β€œit felt right at the time.”

It's a fun game, the main thing that bothers me about the campaign is how determined everything is. For example, I've beaten the Confederacy all around Virginia since Bull Run, with only a draw and no losses. I crushed them so badly that I destroyed half their army multiple times, I broke their line and wrecked them at Fredericksburg, and that was after doing the same at Antietam and Second Bull Run. Between losses and prisoners they had half their army gone and I got their supplies But now instead of chasing them down south to Richmond I'm having to fight a just as strong Army of Northern Virginia at Chancellorsville. Like I didn't just crush them at Fredericksburg, very near Richmond. I won at Chancellorsville, they didn't get my flank or surprise me like happened historically, but now the Confederacy is still invading Pennsylvania with a bigger army. It just doesn't make sense for campaign progression, it's more like a tour of battles with some leveling up and customization mechanics. An old game from like 1997 I played took this stuff into account and you could take Richmond or even Washington if you won certain battles, and there were alternate scenarios for battles too. And this was an old hex game. The leveling up and customization is cool, you can build divisions as you wish for certain purposes. I invested pretty quick in a high quality cavalry division.

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.

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.
