So..I started with the Talonsoft BG series and moved up to HPS Waterloo, but I'd like to get a new title now. I was thinking Austerlitz but I'm not sure. Obviously something that wouldn't be impossible to find a PBEM game with as the AI is generally worthless in these games.

I don't have a lot of money to spend and wish I could own them all but I have to choose carefully :D Thanks.

Austerlitz would be a very good choice in my opinion, with several really good campaigns included. I'm currently playing the Italian Campaign from that disc and it's great.

Austerlitz is excellent and a lot of guys are getting since it is a fairly recent release. J-A is also good as it has a huge map and lots of manuver room,if you like that sort of thing. If you want to get right to the fighting there is always NRC. LoL, they are all good that's why I have them all.

I have them all, and I think you will be very happy with Austerlitz. There are a gazillion scenarios, and the game engine is the most recent version. I have played half a dozen PBEM scenarios and it works very well. The AI, however, still sucks.

Thanks guys. I think I will go with Austerlitz. I never play AI, it's not worth it with these games. They just aren't meant for single player.

And I would be willing to play you in your first game of Austerlitz too! 8)

Really appreciate you supporting our products and also thanks for the nice comments about the many campaigns in the game. I really pulled out all of the stops for that title.

(note: do remember to update your profiles with your club affiliation/army/etc) :wink:
