David Heath, Director of Operations at Matrix Games, said “Napoleon in Italy is sure to satisfy the Napoleonics buffs among us who are looking for some great strategy gaming fun. Matrix Games is proud to be supporting Hussar Games in the release of the title and we think gamers will see why when they get a copy of this title on their hard drives.”

Várhegyi Bulcsú of Hussar Games added, “It’s been fantastic working with Matrix Games on another title. I absolutely second David’s enthusiasm for Napoleon in Italy and have no doubt that anyone who is excited by the announcement of this game will not be disappointed come release time.”

Step back to the age of Napoleon and travel in the footsteps of this military genius! Napoleon in Italy is a hex based strategy game that includes both the strategic level of movement and logistics combined with playable tactical battles.

No idea for a release date ? 2007 ? 2008 ? i'm very interessing for this game.[8D]

Release is REALLY very soon: late September or early October 2007.
We have a very stable beta at the moment, and we are adding some final graphics and tweaks to the game.

It will be before Christmas certainly and hopefully in October, but we don't want to set a firm release date just yet.

Based upon my very positive experience with For Liberty, there is no doubt that I will be buying this game.

Looking forward to this one!! I liked the concept and gameplay of For Liberty, just not the setting. This looks much more like my type of thing!
