    I miss the scope of ETW but at the moment I am still working through NTW.

    It is not to say that I won't pick it up again; I still have it installed, but there is a lot to like about NTW even without the extra theaters.

    NTW's map is pretty much the MTW/RTW/MIITW one without N.Africa... So I think people are just spoiled with the size of ETW's map :-p. Its plenty enough though the faction count is a little low.
    Fighting isn't about winning, it's about depriving your enemy of all options except to lose.

    I started a Prussian campaign a few days ago.

    15 turns in with 8 or 9 regions but I’m hotly pressed by the Austrians, Poles and Russians.

    Squares have been my salvation as I have seen a lot of enemy light cavalry.

    After a long break, I fired up a GB campaign last night. The BAI does behave differently now. At times, it can even keep a line...
    It seems, interceptions have been retweaked now too. I was intercepted by the AI and, on battle open, I found myself in column formation thrown directly into the combat with no time to arrange troops, almost like an ambush situation. I think, it makes it much more realistic.

    Having just received the game yesterday, I must say I am totally impressed. Graphics stunning, gameplay (so far, started RTI and am at the French and Indian War) absolutely amazing. Think I'm gonna hold off getting NTW for awhile.

    I would also be impressed if I just started to play ETW just now but with all the former versions of it under their belt most 'veterans' are a bit jaded. I'm still playing it though and I'm still enjoying it immensely.

    Still playing ETW and enjoying it very much. Recently purchased NTW and am impressed with some of the upgrades and the improved AI. All around, great game, worth the money I spent on it. Many hours of enjoyment.

    Maybe it's a good thing my computer wasn't up to scratch 2 years ago...
