I found that both types of views were useful in playing the game and made a nice compliment to each other. The soundtrack features some great marching music, but I wish Talonsoft had used regular audio tracks and not WAV files. Audio tracks would have allowed the use of a regular audio CD player to listen to the soundtracks. Napol on in Russia also has some excellent video clips that are obviously from a movie. I did not find any reference to the video source in the game's documentation and cannot be certain about which movie the video clips came from.
Scenarios Napol on in Russia offers no connected campaign, instead offering only scenarios.
But, there are 21 included scenarios, ranging from 8 to 52 turns. Scenarios can be played with either side, playing against the AI or against another human via multi-player support. I found the AI to be good, and lost several games to it. One of the main problems I had was keeping track of what turn it was and having the scenario run out just when I was about to make a major attack. The only requirement was that the host activate the session.
