The United States had little to no role in the European wars.

Plus the fact that you can't make a faction playable if it doesn't even exist on the Campaign Map

That'd be a pretty big patch!!

During this time the War of 1812 was being fought between USA and Great Britain.

Which was a whole new can of worms that had nothing to do with Continental Europe. Maybe we'll see it as DLC, but I have doubts.

Actually Napoleon wanted Great Britain to go to war against USA so that Great Britain would have to use troops and supplies to defend Canada. Here is a link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleo...rs#War_of_1812

Maybe, but even that didn't stop the 6th Coalition from forcing Boney to abdicate. Besides, I think it would be odd to find the Prussian flag flying over Washington D.C.

I would love to see the USA playable but, since they had no real military contact with mainland europe during the Napoleonic wars, I find it very unlikely. Like Amazing horse said it might be a DLC but, I doubt it.

• The European campaign starts in 1805

• Only one of the great powers of the era was engaged in the War of 1812, as such it would be rather foolish to have Austria, for example, able to declare war and invade the USA

Did you forget Canada?

And if I am correct this is the last war between US, Canada, Britain. If you also look into the casualties and everything else the Americans had more than Britain although I can't be sure about Canada. I enjoy saying that to Americans who say "we won the independant war".

Erm but yeah, this had almost no effect on the battles going on in Europe. France had trade between US of A and that had alot to do with the war there but, there was direct affair with America and Europe apart from trade. So this would be pretty pointless. You may see it in DLC but I doubt it will impress anyone apart from the Americans and a handfull of fanboys. I'd much rather see an expansion showing the map from ETW. Ahhh how good ETW's map was... thats one thing they got right atleast.

Basing who wins a war off of casualty statistics...well then I suppose that the Central Powers won WW1. The Axis won WW2. US won in Vietnam. The South won the Civil War and so on and so forth.....interesting viewpoint. And no Canada wasn't part of the war as a country, it was still part of Great Britain. Canada became independent in 1867.

Any way, back on topic, the US didn't play a major role during the course of the game. It should be left out.

Having said what I just did, it would be terribly satisfying to be able to burn Washington as the British.

The only thing better is destroying an entire british army at new orleans....

Oh yes well done you guys for sitting on a hill for the entire battle. I don't have any gold stars on me but well done!

Well cant you have a French flag flying over London? But that never happened.

Yes but it could have happened had it not been for the battle of Trafalgar. If you could point me to where the Americans thwarted Prussian designs of invasion then I will concede you make a valid point.
