Napoleonic Mod now working in MP!

Mitra, Suchet and I tested the Napoleonic Mod with SOW 1.6 in MP today.
We started 3 battles. It worked great, no problems encountered whatsoever.
The sprites are looking very nice and are a welcome change to the blue and grey we all have seen for some time now...
I am looking forward to play some real HITS MP battles using this excellent mod by Gunship24!

Link to the latest version of the mod:

And here is the original discussion thread of the mod:

Enjoy some screenshots





We also tested the cavalry and square formations. Here are some first observations:
Infantry in squares are really stronger against cavalry than in other formations. As it should be. Once the melee starts, the infantry looses its formation to fight the melee.
Infantry seems to stick moving in Line formations also over longer distances. Which is looking nice. I don't know if they loose too much fatigue by that.
Cavalry is not extremely strong. It took several charges to rout an enemy infantry from the front.
When Cavalry has lost a charge and has retreated, it will not loose much Morale, but more Fatigue. Then after they have rested, they can charge again.

Very good gameplay, it appears well balanced also in rapport to the new role of cavalry. AI commanders appear to have much more initiative, perhaps due to their statistics.

Sounds promising. I do like to see the froggies run. I would be available Sunday for a Nap HITS game.

I say, looks rather splendid, what? Look forward to giving it a run for its money.

Me too.

Looks like now is the perfect time to get this mod =)

Wow, at last! Fantastic news. Looks like I might have to MAKE time to get back into Sow/Nap mod.

Wow, Digby lives! If you don't make the Friday fight, I'll be available for a nappy battle on Sunday.

Hey, Digby is back! Where have you been, exiled to the island of Elba?

I've just been given a pass to play Napoleonic HITS on Sunday, if there's a game on. What time were folks thinking of?

Apart from the latest version of Andrew's Nap mod, is there anything else I need?

I should be able to play sunday also earlier would problably be better for me.

I'm flexible. I can play whenever it's convenient.

Shall we try for 19:00 GMT? The Euros have not changed their clocks yet, so that is 13:00 MST, 14:00 CST and 15:00 EST.

I can make that, if everyone else can.

Martin (J)

I'll be there.

Count me in.

+1

I will try hard to be there also at 1900 GMT. I might also provide a scenario for the HITS Nap game today.

Plus one.

You've got to love Garnier.

I think also Suchet and me will join, probably with 1 new player

Sounds British.

That depends on which school you went to (old chap). But we do all think he's a diamond geezer.

Are we meeting on the GCM server or the original one?

Martin (J)

This should be a blast. But I have to admit some confusion as to the array of mods, maps & downloads that we'll need for this one. Would it be possible for someone to itemize the "must haves" and which mods must be both activated and turned off ahead of the game? This might save us some time. Thanks!

If we are using Garniers new maps then the random maps 6
both road to wagram mods
Just couriers mod
with the garnier terrain 4 optional

That would be my take on it

I shall see you gentlemen shortly!
