<div><span style="font-size: 10pt">David Heath, Director of Operations at Matrix Games, said “Given the enormous success of <em>Commander – Europe at War</em>, the Napoleonic incarnation of the same elegant game system stands to be just as fantastic. <em>Commander – Napoleon at War</em> captures everything that was intuitive and fun about the original <em>Commander</em> while still modeling Napoleonic strategy in all its glory!”</span></div>

Logistics are also modeled, with supply lines, resources and sieges and the use of privateers and naval superiority to stifle trade routes. Players have twelve unit types to choose from as well as fifteen research paths, and eight immersive historical campaigns from 1805 through 1815!</span></div>
