The closest Allied Cmmander during WW2 to Rommel in my opinion would be Richard O'Connor. He did to the Italians what Rommel would do to The Allies with an even bigger difference in Army size. In fact he nearly pushed the Axis powers out of Africa altogether causing Hitler to send Rommel and the Afr...

Let me add my thank you to the growing list.
Having played the very easy campaign from begin to end I must report finding no problems at all.

Looks like you have a winner (again) on your hands.

Historical accuracy? Well the series was fictional events based around actual events. The uniforms and weapons were spot on. But with regards to the characters I am not sure how accurate they were. Sometimes a "modern" tilt came across with regard to some female characters but in the main ...

Yes Happycat, Sharpe was originally in the 95th Rifles until joining the South Essex (fictional) but always wore the green uniform of the Rifles. Not a dull audience just deeply involved in playing CNAW.

No one read the Sharpe novels? No one watched Sean Bean play Richard Sharpe? Oh well never mind.

OK a question for you all. How many of you have renamed one of the GB light infantry units the 95th Rifles? Come on own up I know some of you have.

Keeping my fingers crossed too.

I still play the game. Not as often as I should but CoW still gets a run out now and again. I tend to play the harder countries such as the Israelites. Much more of a challenge than the Eqyptians.

Just like opening up a bar of chocolate and hoping to find one of the golden tickets.

Has anyone considered a game set in WW1? I have hardly seen any games set in this period. There was an old Avalon Hill game called 1914, and much more recently a game called Guns of August, which title I believe they stole from a book. The problem is that it wasn't a very interesting war. The first...

Oops sorry about that. But we do have it here in black and white that it is free.

Maybe the next Commander after Napoleon could be Commander - Caesar in Gaul?

I will wait with baited breath. Go team, go team, go team.

So, put in a nutshell, you are all saying it is impossible to win as the Axis against a human player. So with that in mind I must remember never to play as the Axis against another human player.

Will all who sign up get to beta test the game?
Will only a select band from those who sign up get chosen?

I have found, so far, that carrying on after Poland really catches those Russkies with their pants down.

Well best I sign up then.

Oh well best get them early then before the Russian bear crushes me.

Playing the demo I have seen French partisans, German partisans and Finnish partisans. Even stranger I have also seen Belgian partisans.
