In 1813 the German town of Leipzig was the scene of one of the most decisive (and largest) battles in Europe prior to World War I. It was here that Napoleon suffered a bitter defeat at the hands of a European coalition, an event commemorated with a massive monument located just outside the city today. It's fitting, then, that Creative Assembly chose the Leipzig Games Convention as the place to unveil the land-based combat in the spectacularly promising sequel Empire: Total War. The new game aims to recreate the explosive tension of imperial warfare, complete with musket volleys, cavalry charges, artillery, and bayonet rushes.
