A pretty good review 3/5 :-

Strategy fans can now relive the battles of Trafalgar and Waterloo in this historical sim that revisits the area of the Napoleonic wars. Colourful top-down maps and tiny military avatars help bring to life the accurately re-created escapades of France's diminutive one-armed warmonger.
There's even a fantasy campaign where Napoleon and his armies descend on England in a bid for domination.

Napoleons's Campaigns is turn based and delivers engaging gameplay. An emphasis on tactics over brute force is needed to win the day as there are more than 1,000 units to despatch, from foot soldiers to cavalry, spies and even doctors. In many ways this is the sort of title that the long-cherished boardgame Diplomacy could have been - instead of the shambolic disaster that rolled out a few years ago.

The game also boasts a two player mode that means head-to-head challenges can be played online or via e-mail or, for a welcome change, on one PC in hot-seat mode.

Cheers, Chris

You should see me in my bowler hat

Out of interest do you always know where reviews will appear? Are most the result of sending a copy of the game to a publication?

I was just reading the paper in bed and I came across the review.

I believe that the Sunday Times is supposed to be read in bed. The key word being 'Sunday'.

Normally too drunk to read on a Sunday though - it's good for hungover Mondays!
