Help! I recently bought the TW Empire Napoleon DLC called the Peninsula Wars and, well, I can’t find it. According to Steam I’ve purchased the thing, and it shows up in my DLC window for the game, but when I launch TWE Napoleon I don’t see the option to play the new scenario, either in the Coalition area or in the Napoleon Campaigns section. Is the DLC simply not active yet, am I doing something wrong (looking in the wrong area?), or did something screw up with Steam (after I bought the game it locked up, but I rebooted and everything seems to be working fine)?

Based on the eighth page of [this thread](http://shoguntotalwar.yuku.com/topic/71484/t/Napoleon-Total-War-Peninsular-Campaign.html), I gather that it hasn’t been released yet. You’re not the only player impatiently waiting for it to unlock.

I only found out about it yesterday. I was going to start a new campaign as either the Prussians or Russians, but I think that I’ll wait for this DLC. It certainly looks like it will be better than Warpath was for Empire.

:smack: I didn’t realize it hadn’t even been released yet. It popped up as available for purchase and didn’t say anything about it being a pre-pay, so I assumed it had been released. I actually put in a tech support email with Steam and they basically told me that the game was there but that it wouldn’t show up as separate (which I already knew) and thanks for being a loyal Steam customer, blah blah blah.

Thanks for the info…it was driving me crazy that I couldn’t figure out how to actually play the DLC to the point where I was going to unload steam and the game and reload from scratch. Sheesh…

In your defense, The Creative Assembly did say it would be released in June, but haven’t specified _when_ in June.
