These Scourge of War games, if they are anything like their predecessors which I owned, are excellent replications of the battle. Needless to say, this caused a bit of a rumpus. then decided to take a nap in the middle of the battlefield. So the cat, being a cat, decided she would get up on the board and re-arrange the counters to positions that were superior in her opinion. left the game out on a table in the rec room, and made the mistake of leaving the door open. Remember one game I was playing of this with a friend, right in the middle of the critical moment of the battle. have a copy of this game, somewhere in a box in one of my closets. So I have a bit of history with Waterloo. In my grognard days, played this SPI board game a lot. I have a couple of the SoW ACW games, and really like 'em. Replay value is high in singleplayer but the real potential is in multi-player - a maximum of 32 commanders who if they were using the 'Headquarters in the Saddle' viewpoint and communicating only by the courier system would mean a depth of player-immersion which, in its current form, NTW could never match. The terrain of the battlefield is faithfully reproduced in its serried folds. is often credible in its decision making (though improvement is needed in certain areas). The game has an improved command system, the A.I. The sprite ratio can be adjusted according to preference which at army command level means dealing with as many troops as were present at the battle of Waterloo itself. A player can choose the level of command from Brigadier, Corps Commander through to Napoleon or Wellington themselves which means micro-managing can suit player preference, abilities and moving troops does not require keyboard skills comparable with virtuoso piano playing.

A significant plus point for me is the pace of the game is real time, (though this can be accelerated), by comparison NTW is hectic.

What does the replay value look like with this title?Дefinitely considering this one as new Napoleonic games are rare these days.I have about 10 hours of gameplay. This one seems like a winner in that department.

The one thing that annoyed me with Napoleon Total War and the series as a whole was the lack of historical orders of battle and correct terrain.
