between what year does the game take place?

[Sir Beane]

I'm assuming they are saving the napoleonic era for an expansion pack. Why give the milk away for free?

Very true. Since the Napoleonic wars are what we all want they are the best way to bait us into buying an expansion pack.

If Napoleon doesn't feature in an expansion then the second favourite would probably be the American Civil War.

[Megas Methuselah]

I'm sure the expansion will include a bit more than 20 years of French domination.
