Started the Napoleonic Campaign in Napoleonic Wars mod by Konstantin.

Some general thoughts:

Mod is obviously not polished, but is nice and enjoyable.
There are errors in map graphics and the mod uses standard panzer corps flags - for example napoleonic side has german flag from the base game.
Units look great.
Turn limit is very generous at the moment and there is no prestige shortage.

Comparing the units in the mod with the base game:

There are many types of infantry, but they are basically the same unit with different skins. Guards with flag = engineer. No transport for infantry, so movement is slow, but cavalry is very fast and maneuverable.
There are no planes obviously, but I have ships in the core.
Many types of towed artillery. (Very powerful)
Dragoons/Napoleonic cavalry = tanks, Cuirassiers = Recons.

Campaign: Napoleonic Wars.

Lost 1 guards unit at Jena after AI cavalry counterattack.

Forced surrender on many enemy units - increased my prestige.

Core units lost: 0
Current prestige: 9907

Campaign path: (Continued)

17.Friedland. DV. 0 casualties.
18.Friedland-1. DV. 0 casualties.
19.Aspern-Essling. DV. 0 casualties.

20.Aspern-Essling-1. DV. 0 casualties.

Looks like "Aspern-Essling-1" is the first tough scenario in this campaign. Enemy had numerous artillery units, also many hussars and cuirassiers.
I also encountered enemy generals as cavalry units. Heavy cavalry here = tanks in vanilla game.

Campaign path: (Continued)

21.Borodino. DV. 0 casualties.
22.Borodino-1. DV. 0 casualties.

Core units lost: 0
Current prestige: 12975

These scenarios are easy. AI Units didn't bother to defend the objectives. No counterattacks also.
It seems that there are no SE units in this campaign which is sad.
Also no soft cap.

Campaign path: (Continued)

23.Dresden. DV on turn 5. 0 casualties. (Easy victory)

Core units lost: 0
Current prestige: 12921

Campaign path: (Continued)

24.Dresden. DV on turn 5. 0 casualties.

Again easy victory on turn 5, scenario is quite enjoyable - fighting across the river and in the city.

Core units lost: 0
Current prestige: 14058
