Title: Looks can be deceiving
Product review: When I read on the box that it was thoroughly researched, I thought, "Hmmm, a serious Napoleonic game for a change". Boy, was I mislead. It certainly looks Napoleonic at the beginning of a scenario. It sounds Napoleonic -great music. That is where it ends. Combat barely resembles Napoleonic combat. Cavalry units ought to be called Panzers they are so dominating and artillery is largely ineffective. The larger scenarios are unplayable due to the RT quality of the game. -Too much going on to keep track of -which leads to all sorts of unhistorical results. Leaders are virtually invulnerable to any bad effect -even when surrounded and being walk over by the enemy. I was just glad to get $20 of my money back when I sold the game to a kid down the street. If you are a serious Napoleonic buff, I don't recommend this game. If you want some (graphically mediocre) eye candy for a few hours, then this is the ticket for you.
