DEMO2 BEFORE BUYING

[Gunner24]

most of all JMM shouldn't let himself be bothered with such kinds of silly posts

Agreed, some people will never understand this concept, no matter how much time you spend trying to explain it......for me JMM would be best getting the worst bugs fixed - then word will spread and sales will go up.

Well, I've already sent the info about HW-LG to a friend of mine who is now responsible for a Military History magazine in the UK ("Britain at War"). If he likes it, maybe he can make some publicity.

Neither the Portuguese... But I have already bought HW-LG.

Just the Potuguese Troops (Légion portuguaise)... 5 regiments in the game...

Yes, forgot the Legion!

By the way, I don't know which were your sources, but when it was formed, the Légion Portugaise had initially the following composition (February/March 1808):

* Line Infantry regiment nº 1 (2 battalions)
* Line Infantry regiment nº 2 (2 battalions)
* Line Infantry regiment nº 3 (2 battalions)
* Line Infantry regiment nº4 (troops were enough to form only 1 battalion)
* Line Infantry regiment nº5 (2 battalions)
* Cavalry regiment nº 1
* Cavalry regiment nº 2 (never marched to France, remaining in Lisbon to support the French troops)
* Cavalry regiment nº3 (changed the name to nº2 after the Sintra Convention in August 1808)
* 1 squadron of Light Cavalry (Caçadores a Cavalo) (divided by the 2 cavalry regimentts in France  after the Sintra Convention in August 1808)
* 1 Light Infantry battalion (Caçadores)

So, in order to be historical, you should have:
2 Cavalry regiments
5 Line Infantry regiments
1 Battalion of Caçadores

Napoleon's  Regiment (Digby Smith)
In the book, "Raised on 18 May 1808 at a paper strength of 5 infantry and 2 cavalry regiments; by May 1811, these had reduced to 3 ans 1 respectively. Disbanded 25 November 1813"

Right, the CAV aren't in the game... I don't remember the reason... maybe the uniform?

I can send you a pic with the uniform if you want. =)

I won't waste any more of my energy on it. I need it all for fighting my pbem games today. Let the naysayers whine, in my opinion they are just playing at being real Gronards.

You should look the war between the pro-histwar and the anti-histwar in the twcenter!!!

Congratulations Darsh for defending HW this way 
You are not alone in the pro-HW team but the other players of both HW and NTW don't seem to have join us on this forum?

Heh I quit playing TW games long ago. I really don't get the knock on the graphics of Histwar. I find them to be outstanding and actually prefer them to the silly Hollywood graphics of TW. Besides, if that's all that game has I can just look at screenshots (why buy the cow when the milk is free?  ).

I don't have anything against TW, it's a fine series to introduce someone to wargaming and all but I grew out of it pretty quick.
