SCRIPTED FPS with muzzle-loaders could work be good...MP action I am still suspicious.
Now, the problem is, how to divide five Afghans from three mules and have two Englishmen left over.

I would suspect that those with a big interest in the ACW would enjoy this (for a time at least) but the bunnie-jumper kiddies will absolutely hate it.

Re: Time Tripper.  Fun game and a fun little time-killer.  I've been meaning to make a VASSAL module for that one.

What I was noticiing from the video is that there appears to be a means to lead your squad(?) or whatever the formation is....it looks like the player is placing formation markers on the ground ahead of himself. 

I played quite a bit of Mount and Blade Napoleon when it first came out, strictly the FPS part and not the force on force part.  It was surprisingly fun in small doses, kind of like ARMA 3 KotH. 

I don't want to be judgmental, but this could be fun if it's done right.  Some command elements might be critical; controlling only your own toon might not be satisfying for the reasons mentioned above.

(my bold)

Mount & Blade: Napoleonic Wars is a blast in multi-player.  Far better than any single-player it could possibly have, scripted or otherwise.

The MP is even more fun due to the muzzle-loading firearms (and cannon).  Much the opposite of what you suspect.

The big confused skirmishes are more enjoyable than marching around in a line too.  Had some great experiences with hectic fort attacks with 60-100 players going at it with Napoleonic equipment.  O0

Being a civil war fan, I would give it a try...however, not sure this will even make the goal to be funded.

M&B Napoleonics KILLS in MP.

^Nice inoffensive version of the Stars and Bars :)

I love the idea of this game...I don't know if it will make goal though, as said above...

Loved me some ATHF.

Is there not an ACW mod for M&B?  As has been pointed out above, I'm sure that would be a better representation of the period than a squad-based shooter (which this appears to be - down to the dialogue, even).

Jack Nastyface

Hmm...good feedback.  Is anyone still playing M&B Napoleonic?  I would still be keen to check it out.

Gosh, I haven't played M&B:N in probably two years but it was pretty fun in multiplayer.  Again, it wasn't as much shoot once then run up and stabby stabby as you might think.  Then again, I don't think it was much of a representation of real Napoleonic warfare, either.  But it was still fun.

M&B: N is fun if you accept the fact that there is no use of what you would think of traditional Napoleonic war.  Organized lines and such.  If you accept that it's call of duty with flint and lock it can be pretty fun.

Well, that's hardly likely to happen in pub MP in any game, but I know there are (or perhaps were) "regiments" who did the whole lining up thing.
