You see i was thinking that its now 200 years from when the Nappy wars were around,And because my little boy was so much into playing Nappy games and looking at war films,I thought that he could be Nappy him self reborn and could help me out a little with battles,And yep he playes well .
And i thought i was a good player,Wait until 13 years are up he will be here and then he could be training a lot of members.
God help the Allies.[;)][:D]

<br />yes
a new waterloo would be nice, and necessary to "kill" old battleground games.
I will buy it.
Only some concerns :
will the belgium map be detailled and acurate enough ?
will the campaign system be improved ?
will the spelling of french units corrected (no more 'le cavalerie de le garde de imperiale' please)

Stephane - its impossible to spell out alot of the names in total (see how I had to go to the IR# for the Austrians and drop the name of the Regiment).

It all goes back to when the Napoleonic engine was first produced. The Unit info window space was reduced for the names. I asked John to increase it but he didnt want to do that.

Thus we live with shorter names.

I sympathize with you on this. I liked the BG approach much better. Allowed us designers to put in the full unit name.

Dean - you bring up a good point - I wonder just how the casualty comparison works out for the HPS vs. BG games.

Not something I will check but was just wondering if the old 25 man losses are either more than compensated by the HPS individual man losses thus showing more losses than BG or if the HPS game is LESS than BG on the average.

NRC and NIR might be a good test as Charles Cutshall used similar fire values for his game as was in NIR.

Bill,

Stephane is not complaining about shorter names but on obvious mistakes for us little froggies.

In french, "<b>Division de Chasseur</b>" would be the same as saying "<b>Duke of the Wellington</b>" in english!!
It should be "<b>Division <u>des</u> Chasseurs</b>"
... <b>Gauche Aile</b> should be converted to <b>Aile Gauche</b> otherwise it's like saying "<b>Wing Left</b>". There is many more examples but those are not enormous mistakes; they only give the (false) impression that the research job was not done seriously. [V]

It should be fairly easy to have someone check the order of battle and have the corrections done.

Sometimes I think that the defensive fire is too strong in Eckmuhl for exemple... it happens very often that a battalion I send to attack loose in 2 or 3 fires 100 men or more... But you're right the losses are not as strong in NRC and I prefere it like that... [:)]

"... and how did you write IV Réserve de Corps de Cavalerie?"

In HPS game, there is no room for such long designations. So an abreviation is better : IV Cav. for exemple
otherwise : quatrième corps de la réserve de cavalerie

No! No! No!

In my opinion Anglo-Saxons consider Waterloo as the main Napoleonic campaign. Every American or English wargame-serie dealing with Napoleonic history has Waterloo scenario at the first head.
