Gentlemen,
this little gem that is in development since ages is still progressing.
Here are 2 of the latest videos.

Video 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkpT_yHwYrc
3 combat formations are used in HistWar:
- The line that fights by fire.
- The platoon column that charges and seeks contact.
- The division column, mixing the 2 formations, which charges after firing.
This video shows a combat of this last mode: division column against line.


Video 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NImwJREOKD4
Melee: French vs Russian
French: 1er regiment Infanterie de Ligne, colonel St Martin 2952 mens
Order: Attack Leib-Gvardii Preobrazhenskii
Russian: Leib-Gvardii Preobrazhenskii, colonel Kozlovskii, 3120 mens
No order: AI manages the regiment behaviour

This video shows 4 types of combat between French and Russian:
- Victorious charge against Russian in line formation.
- French charges before retreating without contact.
- Double charge without melee, French flees before contact.
- Double charge with melee.

Yes it looks very interesting, massed formations etc and particularly the scenery. However, everything appears to me at least, to be moving far too quickly.

I bought the initial (Grognard edition) many moons ago and had forgotten about it.

I think that is, at least in some parts of the videos, time acceleration.
