Treating a Spanish ulcer: Hunted Cow tackles the Peninsular War

I know it's hell, but it sure is pretty.

I know it’s hell, but it sure is pretty.

Hunted Cow has plopped us into battles ranging from ancient Rome to the Civil War to the Eastern Front, but never before have they put us in the shoes of Napoleon or his adversaries. Next week that will change as they launch Peninsular War Battles which details the march of the Grande Armée onto the Iberian peninsula.

Like all of Hunted Cow’s war games, this one will have multiple campaigns. One of them is a tutorial campaign, but the other five are full campaigns dealing with different aspects of the Peninsular War, and all of those can be played from either side of the conflict. There are also dozens of different units for you to control comprised of 12 different troop classes such as infantry, light infantry, hussars, lancers and dragoons.

The expected release date for Peninsular War Battles is next Thursday, the 23rd.

That’s not all Hunted Cow has cooking, though. There is a Gettysburg game that’s nearly done and the port of Decision Games’ war game, Rebels & Redcoats is being submitted next week as well.
