Napoleonic Mod V1.0 released

ProfTournesol has informed us that he released his Napoleonic Wars Mod V1.0 featuring a lot of units (like horses) and new features compared to the previous versions of this Mod.

Despite the fact that the OFP engine doesn’t really fit to simulate Napoleonic battles since it isn’t made for showing thousands of units on the screen, it’s definitely a great addition for experiencing a different gameplay.

UNITS :

Lots of early Napoleonic units, of the 1805/1806 era (Austerlitz campaign, and Iena campaign) with line infantry, light infantry, Guard, artillery, cavalry, staff officers ;

• East side : France, Wurtemberg, Bavaria ;

• West side : Prussia, Russia, Austria ;

• Guerrilla side : Saxony (First prussian ally then french ally)

A few winter troops to feature the 1812 Russian retreat :

• East side : France, Poland ;

• West side : Russia ;

FEATURES :
