duggers Posted March 3, 2003 Share Posted March 3, 2003 Having read a few threads concerning Napoleonic warfare and the lack of good simulations available I was just wondering if I am the only one who has played Waterloo, Napoleons last Battle or Austerlitz, Napoleons Greatest Victory both available at www.breakawaygames.com or even in some shops! I rate these games very highly but seem to be the only being on the planet who has ever played them, anyone else with an opinion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thin Red Line Posted March 3, 2003 Share Posted March 3, 2003 I played WNLB. It's real time, and because of that nearly unplayable on a large scale (the whole battle). But enjoyable.

duggers Posted March 3, 2003 Author Share Posted March 3, 2003 I agree that playing some of the larger scenarios is almost impossible but the medium/smaller ones are great fun and being able to issue orders in pause mode makes things a bit easier. Glad to hear i'm not the only one to have had a look at these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Posted March 3, 2003 Share Posted March 3, 2003 The problem with them and the excellent talonsoft line was they were limited to specific battles. I think most Nappy fans want a strategic element that would evolve into cm style combat. When I first saw CMBO and the QB generator I thought of napoleonic battles!

Mr Byte Posted March 3, 2003 Share Posted March 3, 2003 the problem with Real Time Sims is they never are and never could be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
