Scourge of War is returning on Steam.  The blurb says many features have been tightened up.

The big problem with the original was the constant auto-change of facing, and units doing the conga! It had its good points, though.

Agreed. Digital soldiers should only dance after winning a battle, or on the King's/Emperor's birthday. An occasional brief jig after repelling a cavalry charge is allowed, like this...  :groovy:

I remember this game, it had a lot of problems as I recall but did look promising. If they've fixed it up could be a winner. Bob, did you ever play Napoleon Total War and if you did, what'd you think of it?

No, I did not play that. Its generally not a period that I have much interest in. The Shogun games are still my favourites in the series, especially Fall of the Samurai.

Mine too. NTW With the Darthmod was pretty good, though not really Napoleonic, it wasn't bad. I managed to win the campaign as Britain though I got Wellington killed in his very first battle.  :doh:
