From the creators of the best ACW game, comes a new series of ACW(and possible other periods) game, or more of a tactical battle sim While the previous games from the Take Command Series ,delt with 1st and 2nd Manassas, this game deals with Gettysburg. The game is devided into two parts, the historical senarios and free battle. The senarios deal with the historic battle, one senario might be Bufords stand agasint Heths division, or mabye you will play as Hood fighting in devils den. The senarios deal with every aspect of the 3 days of fighting. Size of battles range from brigade size stuff to full army battles. The other part is free battles called sandbox in the game, here you choose what brigade/division/corps/army you want to play. Mabye you want to control a divison, then the Ai controles every other units and even gives YOU order you have to try and complete. Now one of the few features is MULTIPLAYER, up to 32 players, if you deivde 16 in each army, you got 1 general of the army, 2 corps commanders, 4 divisional commander and the rest control a brigade each. You can also play with everybody on the same "team" and let the ai control the enemy army. The game used 1:4 figure ratio, so a regiment of 1200 soldiers would have 300 sprites, a birgade might have 900, a divsion 2700 ect. A full army might have 20 000 sprites. The maps are huge and you have to use the roads to move troops fast. Anyway the game about finished and expected to be realised before the end of the month www.norbsoftware.com/Portal/index.php

Yes it will be great, I've been in the comunity of Take command games since I found the first game years ago, I've also been in the comunity of Scourge of War since the site was first made. Sadly I couldn't be on the testing team as the time diffrence was just to big, I would have had to sit up until 5 in the morning to play in the tests.
And as in the former games, there will be plenty of room for mods and new OOBs, I'm realy looking forward to someone making A shiloh OOB for me to use

Where can I find the CW mod?? Here it is: www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=260572It really changes up the land battle game, instead of 120ish men per unit you get about 300, and range of their muskets jumps from 70 to 185, all in all good stuff if you've grown a tad tired of vanilla "Empire TW".

Looks like we are going to get the game this weekend.
We got the word today and since then it's been quiet, so for all we know they are uploading it as we speak.
The demo is the game, you download the full game, then if you want to buy it, you just buy a key and unlock the full game
