Sure, if you look close enough the game will show abstractions, like a simulation of a medium-sized city would do. Because the battle below those ranges and hills is an spectacle. This one made me feel a commander in dire straits, sometimes wishing I was just spectating rather than fighting (being a leader demands a lot of your cognitive skills).
I like to play games that make me feel something. This is a solid contender for game of the year. A true tactical/grand tactical Napoleonic wargame for grown ups with a solid foothold in the operational level of war. As I wrote before, NorbSoftDev has created a new genre and keeps improving its original grand vision.

The release of development/modding tools some weeks back may help those with an inclination and will to mod almost anything in SoWW. Lots of thinking, very little clicking is the key to play this game. The sooner you realize about this, the better the player you will be. You are commanding, not throwing away waypoints. A battle in Scourge of War is pure suspension in disbelief. It has created a self-modifying battlefield from rather simple principles of command-modeling and general's traits. No, NorSoftDev has not developed a self aware computer opponent. The unique thing about this: the battlefield is not a dry rehearsal of waypoints for non-playable units but rather a live struggle of boldness and timidity, aggressiveness and passivity, generalship and amateurism. SoWW has 20 stand alone scenarios in which the player commands brigades, corps and even armies from both sides. But what makes a leader and the decisions that he makes from his position in battle is far more engrossing than anything else.
Sure, many other wargames had made incursions into the human factors in warfare, mainly by modelling troop's morale. I would summarize this vision as one that goes beyond the usual automaton-like interpretation of battle and expands towards the human-decision making dimensions of it. NorbSoftDev still holds a unique vision in wargaming that dates back to the old "Take Command" series. It is difficult to not be taken away by the sheer beauty of the armies during the Napoleonic times, so before I get.
