Re: Waterloo battle1 (Allies)

<r><E>:)</E> Brilliant observation Rob, you are spot on I have neglected the use of skirmishers and can only put that down to experience of the larger battles were I've had cavalry to protect the Infantry and deal with enemy skirmishers :ohmy: Your advice could literally be the game changer and I sh...

Re: Waterloo battle1 (Allies)

<r>Thanks again Rob, unfortunately I only have the demo version of bandicam to use at present because my fraps program doesn't work since upgrading to W10. But I ran the battle again whilst recording, but only got to 12 mins before stopping the recording, suffering 400+ casualties and inflicting onl...

Re: Waterloo battle1 (Allies)

<r>Thanks Rob, a wonderful reply and quite lengthy. Believe me I know what this level is all about and how to approach it and what the task involves. According to your description I should have walked this battle at the first attempt like most other battles, especially considering it is a green leve...

Re: Waterloo battle1 (Allies)

<r>Thank you DarkRob for your reply and your experiences of the battle. Firstly I'm not altering the difficulty level, it's just the stock scenario from the list of battles in Waterloo Battles. I have the main settings set to normal and have played all the Allies, French and Quatre Bras battles with...

Waterloo battle1 (Allies)

<r>Hi Folks, <br/> <br/> I have a query regarding the first Waterloo battle as the allies. It is designated a Green level difficulty but I am finding it anything but Green ? I've played it dozens of times and have just about given up on completing it basically because the balance doesn't seem right....

Re: Quatre Bras DLC

<r><E>:)</E> Ah, I see, my apologies and I thought the French were slightly under strength in QB05 when I played ( I was expecting a massed attack from somewhere which never materialized and was holding some troops in reserve for it) although they did try some interesting flanking moves on me :ohmy:...

Re: Quatre Bras DLC

<r>Thank you Reb for your reply and guidance of where the victory scores are located. It confirmed my thoughts that I had completed all the QB battles with Major Victories <E>:)</E> Especially pleasing that 04 + 05 were completed fully after many many attempts at 04. 05 was fairly simple compared to...

Quatre Bras DLC

<r>So I've been playing the game incessantly and loving it but I have a question regarding the Quatre Bras battles ? Why is their no highest score page like the Waterloo battles ? I've just completed QB05 with the promotion score reached and it took me days to achieve the score in QB04, but I have n...

Re: Any one playing the French side Won yet

<r>Excellent Braxton, Congratulations <E>:)</E> Whilst you have revealed your success I will add that my victory came about from the overwhelming attack from the left flank (The Allies right). It was quite the fight and got very bogged down but it was only nightfall that stopped me sweeping along th...

Re: Any one playing the French side Won yet

<r>Hi Braxton, I won the Waterloo battle as France <E>:)</E> Quite convincingly to be honest. I started the list of battles sort of backwards because I wanted to see how the game looked, so fought the BofW before the others. Scored around 98,000, easily achieving the promotion level, but I have to a...
