PhilThib, easy to answer questions,
Any idea on how finally would be NCP2? NCP+Full campaign, new game with PON features? Will be the next after PON? How much time will you support PON and so when will be NCP2 a reality?

This has been discussed a number of times before, and unless this is already in secret development (I'm 99% certain this is not the case) I doubt a new game of that scope could be done before 2-3 years, more likely 5+ years. Unless of course a mod project is underway like SepRus's development of RuS...
Oh, concerning AH's War and Peace. I always found that the campaign didn't really work. To alternative campaign rules were released in an issue of the General. Playing by those rules made the Napoleonic Wars much more realistic...
Some of the inovations seen in PoN (once refined) like Diplomacy and improved Economy (not quite as detailed as in PoN as that would be overkill for a military-strategy game) would indeed go a long way towards making an NCP Grand Campaign a possibility. But that would still involve a lot of research and design work...
Last note, it's likely that PoN will receive official support for a few years at least, unless it's a flop (but I doubt that), or of course Paradox objects to prolonged support à la AACW. But that in and of itself should not mean that no new projects can start parralel after the frst few months (initial patching) after PoN's publication...

Agree with Caranorn, but I guess it will be very difficult, enough freedom to be fun, but not too much to allow a credible recreation of napoleonic history (and hypothetical variants).
NCP has many small and short scenarios with not too much possibilities. You cannot build and organize your own army that is another of the main features of Napoleon, in fact he built several armies.

For a map like the one of NCP you need a grand campaign and the possibility of creating armies, so you can build your empire like Napoleon did
