I would love to know where all these grand strategic level Napoleonic games for computers are! I can only think of two - one was released incomplete and ran out of funding before it could be patched properly, and one was too unrealistic and tried unsuccessfully to incorporate real-time battles. But how many games of this type are available for the boardgame player?!? Plenty, I'd say. ;)

By all means let's have a solid conversion of the game for the fans of the original, but lets have options to appeal to the much larger computer game market as well. Then we'll all be happy :)[/QUOTE]

Good point Reg Pither.

I wonder if the purists are so against EiA with options because they might not find very many folks that will want to play the game without them?

Or could it be that they loathe being equals with everyone else who has to learn EiA with FOW?

Maybe they hate the idea that their pet strategies might not be all that effective anymore?
