Given the objective of the campaign is to take out 50% of the enemy force, it was anyonig I was well on the way! But now i have to fight another battle and again it will end because of high score, So no ablity for one decicive battle. which I didn't like it was very artifical, in the middle of the battle with tens of thousands of men engaged it ended. The Battle ended because my score got so high I won a major victroy. South of the town, I spot French cuirassiers along the road, I'm not worried, The town has some 30k troops protecting it, But I do send some Nessau infantry and find some karabiners.īy the end of the battle I had 22k killed and wounded, Napoelon the same. They start to fall, the old guard has fallen! While the action happens to the North, my cav meets some french cav to the east of town.Īfter a lull up north, the Old guards start wandring into my units, Sure it's the old guard, but it's a single divsion, Easy prey, I get my cav to force them in square, Then start to blow holes in them with arty.Įven fruther north(big map) I have some Hanoverians, sure they are basicly milita and untrained, And the old guard is the old guard, but most are in squre, my divison of levies can handle two and two battalions of guards. they start to run and get cut down.Ītleast 5000 dead and wounded from this battle. I also order a British hussar brigade to flank the french north, 1500 dashing hussars, decend on the french arty and drive them off! So far no French cav, so now the two divisions are alone, beeing surrounded by cav, arty and infantry.įorced in square no were to go, they get murderd!Īnd just to be a dick(a mean a good commander) I get Pictons division to attack from the south, the french have units attacking them from the south, west and north!Īnd the collaps begins, about 5000 cav, 15 000+ infantry and about a 100 guns is just to much. I get a hold of some prussian cav, forcing the french into squares! I feed troops into this battle north of town, I also ocupy the town. Given the size of the map, and all orders go by curriers it takes some time to get control. My army is so huge I still don't know were most of it is, the map only shows units in my vicinity. It's getting serious! Atleat two divisions of french. The battle started north of town, prussians hit the french. Turnes out he did have his whole army, I had 191 000 soldiers vs his 122 000, Thats 313 000 soldiers, I play at 1:4 so thats 77 000 thousand soldier sprites. I wasn't sure if Napoleon had his whole army with him or not, I had my enitre force except for Price of Orange's Corps.
