Two years ago I was first able to visit the Moscow tournament for "The Cossacks." Even on those old "Cossacks", from which still smokes sweet smoke of the fatherland, the train of pleasant youthful memories. Participants then gathered colorful: already fully mature men who know the judge of first-rate strategy is not worse than in the five star of Armenian brandy. Party, the other in his Cossacks could replace the bullet of preference or a friendly trip to the football. And almost a year later, I attended the other tournament, is on new, but still not really "run-" "Cossacks II», and young people among its participants was much larger. And just at that time in a friendly army of fans of The Cossacks had a split: "old men" are not accepted in a favorite game of alien impregnation of the combat system against the "young" who came to love novelty more than the ossified "counter" or "Kwaku". Pungent buckshot innovations released by GSC, mistakenly touched proven fighters, and their men, to this strict regime is kept, noticeably thinned. Young began to emphasize.

To correct it, and somehow to balance the forces, GSC has released a quite reasonable extension of "Cossacks II: Battle for Europe", again returning to the gay leapfrog with the words "battle", "war" and "Europe". Here are just a bet, unfortunately, did not on something that made her do, working hard to patch up the game and return it lost the charm, and along with the once loyal audience. Much more important to improve the battered combat system (this obscure principle of battle "before the first shot") for the GSC has been juggling the title synonymous nouns and expansion of the already exhausted his Cossacks additional units, maps and missions. No, I do not argue, the new filling - it's very good. But not in the case where the victim is registered strict bed rest.

Why, he wondered, was to add Poland, Spain and the Confederation of the Rhine, if due to lack of "friendly fire" Battle of Borodino (and it is a set of cards is finally included) looks like a bad re-enactment? Why do the battle of Borodino, when the units are controlled by the computer still does not have even the most basic tactical methods, and take a number, fill up their hats? Why, when everything from menus to the dialogues, replete with shortcomings (not translated from German by the name of the buildings - it is the most innocuous of them)? While GSC does not answer these questions, the wounded "Cossacks" and will be in the wards, the abandoned old comrades and new witnesses. A little more - and the grandeur evaporate forever, but the next step studio, most likely, will not some kind of release is scheduled to continue, and the legitimate funeral series. Although the funeral - is also a spectacle, and the entree they generally young and old.

New single player campaign and four. The French experience during the "Hundred Days" and watch how the combined forces to re-send Napoleon was knocked down, the Poles and the Confederation of the Rhine dealt with the strife, and arrange a new Spanish Reconquista.
