Other games you've played that you like

[IronDuke99]

The other games I like are Total War Napoleon, and, to a lesser extent, Rome 2 and Atilla by Creative Assembly. Napoleon TW (especially with Darth Mod) has a nice balance between musket armed infantry, muzzle loading artillery and cavalry, and you can play the Peninsular War as Wellington and his British Army (with Portuguese, Kings German Legion and Spanish allies) liberates Portugal and Spain and goes on to invade Southern France. Naval warfare 'aint bad in Napoleon too.

I am very much hoping their next Historical Total War game -after the warhammer fantasy nonsense- will be Victorian 19th Century with a full world map.
