Commander: Napoleon at War manages to get a lot of things right. It strikes a nice balance between simulation and convenience, giving players just enough to make their strategic decisions matter, but not so much that they're crushed under the weight of tables and numbers. With that said, the real focus here is on moving and fighting, not on diplomacy, technology or economy. Those elements are present, of course, but they're on the sidelines. But as fun and as big as the game is, the lack of a solid AI and the strange limitations on how you move and attack limit the amount of fun you'll have here.
