Posted by Trax back in January 2009:

Our four player group has compleated EiANW with a French victory in December of 1812. Finish order with percentage; France 101, Spain 89, G.B. 88, Turkey 83, Russia 60, Austria 51, Prussia 38. Ai Spain and Turkey did nothing to deserve their fininshing positions!
In our game France won two unconditional peace treaties from both Austria and Prussia. GB won a conditional peace from the Turks. Russia was invaded twice by France but was never defeated. Our game had human players for France, GB, Austria and Russia. After about 1806 we found it preferable to let the Austrian player also control Prussia.
We started our game about the first of February 2008 and finished mid January 2009. There was about 5 game months of do-overs with the early problems in the game.
Progress has been steady for quite a while now. This adds up to about 1700 turns in 350 days an average of 5 player turns per day. We did have several weeks of no play so the average of 5 turns is misleading. On a good evening we often could get through two phases of a game month. Our group is going to shuffle countries and start again.
This was since initial release, with the early problems, and this group still played and completed a game. It's doable. v1.06 will be better. Once the editor issues are fixed, you could even create and start a custom campaign closer to EiA if you want. [:)]
