Any chance of a game set in the Napoleonic era? You must have considered it?

It could have Sharpe in it! <awaits abuse from historians who hate the Sharpe series (tv & books)>

I loved the Sharpe books but though the tv series was pretty poor (not enough extras to make it feel like anything more than a brawl). It is something we have considered

Whatever happened to Sean Bean :-/ Also, would Napolean be subject to a 0.5 scale transform?

They certainly didn't have enough extras...

Napolean was pretty small anyway wasn't he? At least he was in Time Bandits.

As for what happened to Sean Bean perhaps he went into hiding until asked to do the voice over for a Napoleonic strategy game? Mind you, I saw him in a crappy american film with the actress from Silence of the Lambs in it a while back... And Pierce Brosnan killed him in Bond, which was very rude.

Which reminds me, isn't the voice of Tom Baker doing the text messages for BT ace?

Yes, he was refered to as short because the men who he spent much of his time surrounded by, and with were much taller than average. In addition, his build/features, combined with his dress habits, did tend to make him look shorter/more child-like than he was.

There's probably an element of jealousy in it too - he was pretty sucsesful so people might have liked to put him down, saying he was short and stuff. Init.

Look at drawings and painting of Napoleon during the Revolution leading charges etc., and they depict him as a not too short, dashing, and very brave individual, which he was.

He was also a complete jerk to women!

lol, I suppose women were seen as inferior back then anyway, but its no excuse
