Sounds like a normal weekday for members of the Society for Creative Anachronism.

ETW will no doubt be released first before this game comes out.

ETW - Delayed until Q1 2009
HistWar - Released late this year

It will also be a billion times more realistic, twenty times more epic (Due to the HUGE numbers of soldiers) and altogether ten times better overall. Don't take my word for it though - I'm just a Total War vet who lost faith in the brand after M2TW.

Looks pretty interesting on the first look, but I don't see anything it has that ETW might not have apart from the three level command system and the automated movements of units. (And ETW has better graphics and Naval combat). Still, something to look into if ETW falls short of expectations.

Les Grognards will have way more units and much bigger maps. If one wants a game as close to a realistic simulation as any game currently can deliver, then it will be Les Grognards. If one wants zoomed in eye candy and fast action then it will be ETW.
