After conquering all of Europe in Napoleon: Total War, my favourite unit above all is the Old Guard. For some reason, seeing those bearskin helmets, moustachioed faces, and white cross-belts marching with determination at the enemy evokes history itself. First, I’m wondering which regiment(s) is/are your favourite? Secondly, if any of those real Napoleonic soldiers (at varied levels of command) could glimpse the future, what would they reckon to an interactive game based on the war of which they’re a part?! Would they be sad, amazed, confused, or disinterested? What do you think?
