Raise the regimental banner and beat the drums of war, because the Emperor is calling you back into service.

Players will take control of any one nation of Europe in this geopolitical barfight, dispatch armies and envoys, raid supply lines, form coalitions and get with the times, already. Because one thing's for sure: Napoleon's Grande Armeé is coming, and he's not interested in second place though he might have to settle for it, if he's just one guy in a 32 person multiplayer battle with set victory conditions.

Fans interested in participating in the closed beta can now sign up, deadline is September 6th.
