This game is going to be massive!!! The thing I'm looking forward to is the uniform's of this period as major nation's had started to uniform their armies in national colour's Prussian Blue,Russian Green,British Red and so on......and if CA show the same detail to uniform's as in MTW2 then this is going to be awesome.British Ship's of the Line taking on all comer's....well she did rule the waves more or less.....this period saw the start of her empire building.
Bigger land battles with sub-commander's who can react and think for themselves so I can be focusing somewhere else on the battlefield.
The disappearance of deployment area's on the battlefield and the fact that you have to march on the map and deploy in your order of battle.Not all land battles started with armies facing each other as some general's did tactical manovering,flank marches etc.
Finally I hope CA and the maker's of ETW will take note of thing's said in this forum or are we all just wasting our time writing these message's while we wait in earnest for the game to come out and CA will please themselves what they put in or out of the game.....remember it's sales that counts.
