Right, so this game will take place in the Napoleonic wars, and before, during muskets, cannons, and the early grenades. All that good stuff.

Now the general time period will be 1700-1815, ending with the end of the Napoleonic wars, you will play a lowly soldier (or an officer, but it's first come first serve) you will get promotions if you do good, and be upgraded as the battles fight on, as the troops are outfitted with better equipment.


a few suggestions for class and origin

A Prussian (German) Skirmisher
An Ottoman Janissary
A Russian Line infantryman (Line infantry were basically the grunts, the backbone of the army)
a French Grenadier (Grenadiers are also limited to two players)
An Austrian Dragoon
or
A British Artilleryman

if you want a suggestion for what to play, ask me


to the sheet!

The hot desert you love, the cooler grasslands seem almost alien, not a patch of sand or crusty earth, so green like a giant oasis.

But your focus is on a town which, surrounded by high walls, you are about to take, the Bashir Bazouks have already moved up with their grappling hooks, but your destination is a different part of wall, which is being pounded by 12lber artillery.

After a while the wall starts to crack and you are ordered to move forward with the troops

Anyway, I wait for the Indians to get closer and fire again.
