great, well-presented review / overview.
interesting your take that it's a good gateway game for getting into 'proper' napoleonics.
I agree on the 'more' colour illustration - uniform plates would be nice, but I'd still like more evocative, larger (Double-page spreads etc), illustrations using dioramas / miniatures in these osprey books.
It is like they're faintly embarrassed by the miniatures aspect and try and down-play it.
I'd also, by this time, like a bit more elaboration on the Harvestmen aspect of the b/ground.
Haven't got the latest supplement tho' in saying that.
