Waterloo has historically been the most popular and you will find that almost everyone in this club has a copy of it. I think the expansion is separate from the game, but I am sure we can get you set up with one. I actually don't think I have the expansion myself.

Waterloo has been updated to v1.04 and the Expansion pack is available at:

Of course, without the main game, the expansion pack is not viable.

Just to elaborate, the Expansion for Waterloo is free. I'd recommend Waterloo first for James. Then probably Leipzig and Eckmuhl.

James,

John Tiller started his own company and his last three titles are available via direct download there. Leipzig is there, along with 1814 and Bautzen.

It is on the same place as the v1.04 update.

James,

I'd recommend 1805 as your next title, then Eckmuhl.
