Well they are pretty standard so I would go with whichever title interests you the most.

I think Waterloo and Leipzig are the best in that series

Why Leipzig?
Tbh, I really cannot answer that question, as I personally think the whole NWB series is Great !

Whilst I have the game, purchased on the numerous recommendations read, I haven't yet had an opportunity to do more than browse through it. It's a Big game and Big Map with Huge forces and features the entire Allied Coalition whilst the French have many allied forces also....what's not to like ! It's a classic I suggest, along with the 1809 Campaign, The Spanish Ulcer and Waterloo. You just cannot have a Napoleonic collection without Leipzig :shock:

Depends entirely on were your interests lies.
I started out with Waterloo because it was a battle I always found interesting. My second title was Bautzen because it also contains scenarios from the Swedish-Russian war over Finland, or as we call it here in Sweden, Finska kriget, in 1808-1809. That lead me to Leipzig, which in turned lead me to 1814 simply for the chronological order off them.
I have also had my eye on getting Wellington's Peninsular War simply because I used to love watching the Sharpe movies which sparked my historical interest in that perticular theathre of the Napoleonic wars.

I'd recommend you read the game descriptions aswell as the "Features" and the "Included battles" sections for each game and then simply choose the one that sparks your interest the most. :)

Go for Leipzig, and consider waiting for the surely coming Winter Sale of WDS to get it cheaper.

Thank you guys for having taken time to share your opinion and experience.

It will be difficult to choose.

At the beginning I considered buying Marengo as it was the first campain.
