OK, I'll post here but again, if the mods dislike it they may move it to somewhere else. The reason is that after over 10 years of constant development and actualization by a small team of hardcore grognards and historical gamers it is finally nearing completion. Given the fact that EB players tend to value realism, accuracy and general depth in their games, then this is surely for them even if they never played a gunpowder age game before. For that's their best chance to get hopelessly addicted to the period:

English & French Discussion Forums: http://www.histwar.com/forum/Histwar is a strategic and tactical computer game that allows you to put on the cocked hat of a Napoleonic army commander and lead troops across many of the most famous battlefields of the early 19th century. Tens of thousands of 3D soldiers organized into regiments and corps will be waiting to carry out your orders in real time.
Currently being developed, soon published by BATTLEFRONT, Histwar: Les Grognards is a tactical wargame that will allow you to re-fight Napoleonic battles between French, Russian, and Austrian forces along with allies from Wurttemberg, Saxony, Poland, Italy, and Naples. Les Grognards will ship with a dozen major battles (including Austerlitz, Eylau, Friedland, Wagram, Borodino). It will also include two editors for creating your own maps and Orders of Battle. Players will be able to square-off with human opponents in two modes: Multiplayer or Play-by-Email (PBEM).
Play as Napoleon and lead the Grande Armée to glory and empire, or take command of the Coalition forces and try to block his path.

Oh and this not shameless advertising! I'm not part of the team.
