History can be rewritten as you use your genius to lead your armies from
victory to victory in Pike and Shot’s uniquely realized tactical battles.
Previous victories and defeats determine the state of readiness of your forces,
and every single unit will count to win the final battle. As you progress
through the campaign, you will make hard decisions on a brand new strategic map,
where terrain, manpower, supply, attrition, sieges and economic damage will all
be defining your choices and making the difference between glory and defeat.
