Hmm, I expect that you've read the previews at the .com?
It the next gen TW game based around the world of the 18th cen. So no more swords and pikes. Its all roundshot and regalia. So you are able to play through the time period of the Wars of Spanish and Austrian succession. Along with the seven years war and the revolutions of America and France.
Marlborough, Eugene, Boscawen, Washington, Cumberland, Wolfe and all other sorts.
Oh the fun!
