Are there any new Napoleonic rules sets that are popular?

Over the years, I have played/owned Empire, Napoleons Battles, Age of Eagles, Shako, Carnage & Glory, Field of Battle and Lasalle. Probably more that I am not remembering.

While I enjoy some of the above sets, None of them would be considered "new". Anything come along in the last five years or so that has grabbed people's imagination?

Bataille Empire is a set that I am enjoying a lot. It is by the same folks that do ADLG ancients.

Snappy Nappy is a great grand tactical/small strategic level game that doesn't need rebasing from most rule sets. It is easy to pick up and quick to play. Give it a look.

Et Sans Resultat, and the author supports them exceptionally well.

Over the Hills, General d'Armee are a couple of newish sets I have played. I think Age of Eagles has had a revamp, but probably not enough to qualify as a new set.

Quotes from review:
'Our group has found the rules as a good and simple system that allows us to play (and finish) battles during the 19th century. We often get occasional players, so having a system that they can quickly grasp is a true bonus. … We had been working on our own variations of rules to cover this scale, but are all in agreement that this is not longer necessary, as [this] is what we have been looking for. … If your looking to play full sized battles in an afternoon with some buddies, [this ruleset] just might be for you!'
