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!

Trommler very narrowly survived a bout with smallpox when he was about 7 years old, and from then on he was frequently ill, though never again as severely so. In addition to lightning reflexes, uncanny senses, and excellent abilities with a rifle, through his childhood Trommler acquired a certain mental toughness and resiliency that was never present physically. At the age of 17, Trommler left home and began a successful career as a hunter and trapper. Things were going relatively well until he was kidnapped by a press gang and forced into military service.

you are lulled to sleep, somehow you manage to zone out, back in the academy. A classroom, someone teaching tactics...
faster than you could comprehend you hear a cannon fire in the distance, and it comes closer...and closer it lands and bowls over some of the line to your right, men scream and more or less duck, but the officer yells "Keep forward, Stay in formation!" the drummer pounds out a steady beat, which you march by and the Standard bear waves the great Pruissian flag
after a short time the enemy come into sight, the Swedes marching in formation as you are, you hear your cannons, large howitzers fire off in succession and eventually both sides go silent, you are getting within firing distance of each other
"Hold!" the drum stops but you can still feel the beat pound in your head.
