Status: offline 		I was thinking about these series of games Waterloo and Austerlitz from Breakaway games. The sons of SMG Gettysburg and Antietam.

Looking at the Breakaway forums I presume Waterloo and/or Austerlitz are not nowadays at sale. I think the message was from 2005.

My thoughts were If could be possible an aggreement with breakaway to reedit those clasics.

It could open the oportunity to bring back the games to the community and make them evolutionate. New oportunity to take the games, new options, resolutions... Perhaps a continuation of the series of games with the old engine...

Just thinking. What do you think about this?

I can't see it to be honest. Granted Les Grognards is now showing decidely vaporware-ish tendencies but if that does get released it's likely to make the Breakaway games as redundant as Take Command already has the Sid Meier ACW games. Things have moved on rather more than in the turn-based market.

Status: offline 		well I'd love to see them reissue the BAG Napoleonic games, the main problem I have with the originals is that they only run at 800x600 and look terrible on my LCD. I'd pay money just to have them available at higher resolutions.

cheers

If you say so - I just look at it as a friendly tip for a fellow gamer and forum member. I have no connection to NWS other then having saved money by using it as a consumer.

Status: offline 		Not only 800 600. Thats the less problematic thing. The contribution could be to beat the CPU related problem. Thats why the games would die in few years. As more powerful the CPU are. The faster the games run.

Its a serious problem.

-----------------------------------------

About the idea of redundancy in games... Im not agree. Similar games live togheter. The example is into this web with two diferent games with similar operational mechanics and the same theme.

The "gettysburg" series are the few kind of games, high quality games, with that point of view. (Very similat to Airborne assault series)

Thats the reason I dont see any redundancy compared with the legion of games and themes in other kind of games.

Was redundancy to revival Campaign series existing Squad battles? Sincerely not.

Greetings.
