Horse and Musket 2: Prussia's Glory Announced!

Archived from groups: comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.war-historical (More info?)

Shrapnel Games and Boku Strategy Games would like to announce that the
next game in the Horse and Musket 2 series, entitled Prussia's Glory
(no relationship to the GMT boardgame of the same name) has currently
entered the testing phase and will soon be available for the Windows
OS. The price and the exact release date has not been set at this
time.

Prussia's Glory focuses on five battles between Prussia and Austria
from 1745 until 1760, with the highlight being the Battle of Leuthen,
considered by many to be Frederick the Great's masterpiece of the Art
of War. Facing nearly two to one odds, the Prussians routed the
Austrians, killing or capturing nearly as many Austrians as there were
Prussians on the field of battle. While there will be five battles
featured in Prussia's Glory, there will be a total of seventeen
scenarios.

Additionally, Prussia's Glory will enhance the Horse and Musket 2
engine with some of the following features:

* New, more historically accurate graphics for specific infantry and
cavalry regiments, including a personal graphic for the great Prussian
Hussar general, Hans von Zieten.

* New animated graphics for officers and drummers. Drummers will now
actually drum as the units advance.

* New musket loading/reloading animations for units.

* Exclusive scenario for Dragoon: The Prussian War Machine owners:
Action at Burkersdor, 1762. This scenario will work only with Dragoon:
The Prussian War Machine (not Prussia's Glory) and is included as a
"Thank you!" for everyone who has purchased Dragoon.

Since there are many new graphical enhancements to the original Horse
and Musket 2 engine it is important to note that there is no
cross-compatibility between the two games. If you own Dragoon but not
Prussia's Glory and wish to play against someone who owned Prussia's
Glory, but not Dragoon, you could not do so. To play against a live
opponent everyone must own a copy of the same game.

As the game gets closer to its gold candidate date Shrapnel Games will
keep you informed. After Prussia's Glory, the Horse and Musket 2
series will continue to march on, focusing on different battles of the
18th century.
