Beyond the numerous enhancements and improvements so deployed, patch 1.03 brings with it also a totally free, brand new, 1870 Franco-Prussian War campaign.

(...)

Will history repeat itself, or can France be saved from a humiliating defeat? Now is your chance to find out! Re-fight this great historic 19th century campaign that saw the rise of Germany to imperial power status, and the final overthrow of the Bonapartes from power in France. It comes complete with many decisions to make, both on and off the battlefield (...)

Two of the beta testers have recently started an AAR of the new campaign as well so you can get a look at what it entails here.
