It would have to be one of those kids costumes :) Made of the paper like material with a cardboard napoleon face that you tie around your head :)

Wow!! That's great news!
Will you be doing any marketing campaing on the battlefield on June 18th? Quite a few thousand potential buyers over there and lots of media attention!
We have some big plans for the anniversary. More news on that soon :)
A free napoleonic uniform (valued $10 000) for all that buy the game (valued $50) on june 18th?

If thats the case I'll buy 5 games on the 18th!
But if you want a cavalry uniform... they add the horse or not??? thats the question!!! try sell your daughter the princess kit with no pony, this is the same but with wargamers and i dont know who is more dangerous :laugh:

Ummm maybe we can see something like a "figure" bonus for physical games (if you buy game before X date) and for all a early buy discount or in game or in the first add-on.

PD: because a session with a medium to have contact with Boni and Artur is not covered no??? :evil:

I think it's the 9th now. Don't quote me, but make sure to check the Matrix site on the 9th.

Really hope its tomorrow ,main site still says 11th Im so looking forward to playing it. Hope the Inniskilling Fusiliers and Dragons are well rated. My Great ,Great grandfather charged with them in the charge of the heavy brigade .against the Russians at Balaclava.

Very cool. My great-grandfather was with the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers in WW1. My grandfather was also from Enniskillen.

Great regiments con20or im sure you are proud of your great grandfather my family also fought in WW1 36th Ulster division. My Great ,Great ,Great grandfather was in the Royal artillery and fought the French in the Caribbean during the Napoleonic wars. The Dragoons and Fusilier's fought at waterloo. The regiments museum in Enniskillen is well worth visiting ,lots of stuff from WW1 in there and Waterloo.

Yes, very proud of all my ancestors. A sad period in Irish history though, very divided loyalties and it ended up civil-war only 5 years later.

A discussion for another day.

That's a coincidence! My great great great uncle was in that charge! He was Captain Alexander Elliot and was General Scarlet's ADC.

Wow that is a coincidence ,my great ,great grandfather was a corporal and later a Sergeant in the 6th Inniskilling Dragoons he also served in India. It was a wonderful charge overshadowed by the Charge of the light brigade.

It sure was. Tennyson wrote a poem The Charge of the Heavy Brigade but no one remembers that these days!
