I have seen a little about it. It looks like a cross between RTS (in the loosest sense of the term) and turn-based strategy. You contol you armies at the operational level, moving them around Europe (Paris to Prussia) and then fight any conflicts at the tactical level. It looks kind of like Shogun. Empire's European website has a good deal of info about Napeoleon 1814.

Are we still going to be able to recreate the Squad Leader maps? There are some scenarios from the original game that I really enjoyed and would like to convert(?) to Combat Mission. Will we also be able to design the force pools and reinforcements and their times of arrival? Thanks. Mike

How do we know which squad belongs to which platoon and which platoon to which company? Seeing that command and control is so important, if a squad gets cut off from their leader, how will I know which direction to send them to reestablish contact? Or will I need to rely on a corporal or other NCO to lead the cut off men. Also, please answer the same question for the higher echelons as well. Thanks. Mike
