I think the regimental mode might bring the thrill and perhaps some people who gave up on classic and/or HB for various reasons back. I have also hope that this mod will be used for campaigns, as it is meant to be. I know, Fullin, you're probably smiling in disbelief, but the last two campaigns were great and all they needed were few more interested players.
With mod released and accessible to everyone, things might look up for a NTW3 campaign again. I have already spread the word among the "dead" and they reacted with enthusiasm. Even Ns Emperor appears interested (hehe)
Dedicated site sounds like a very good idea, but official release (even as beta version) will be an important step (comprehensive release notes will be of great importance!). I understand why you are being cautious about your proposal, Sloop, but perhaps its time to forget about that splitting-community nonsense once and for all. The other half of the community left the "building" a while ago or more recently, when it became clear that there will be no alternative to the classic mod. HB was a decent replacement for some, but that did not turn to be everyone's cup tea. Besides, "HB folk" has always craved for NTW3-based campaign and Desaix had been looking into modding for that, but those plans never came to life. So, this mod is very welcome and might actually bring new life into community.
Anyway, I am all up for this new Napoleonic adventure. Looking forward to release, but ready to join beta testing any time.
