If this doesn't require its own thread, then feel free to merge. I, personally, am of the opinion that funny screenshots should get their own topic :P

Behold, the 18th century origins of the conga line.
"Aziz! AZIZ YOU FOOL! PUT THE FLAG DOWN! This is a STEALTH conga!"

This must be one of those authentic 18th century tactics they were talking about in the previews.
"Remember lads, when the cannonballs start flying, group up. If there's enough of you, you'll just absorb the shock and that ball will bounce right back at them!"
"But...sarge, they're firing incendiaries."
"...BUGGER."
Seriously, the AI just sat there like that for the whole battle. I obliged by taking the chance to level my mortars up a bit.
LOL I love it when the enemy army bunches up like that. This is when I order my howitzer's to open up with the flaming carcass shot. Does some major damage real fast. :laugh4:
I would have used my howitzers on them, but apparently the AI's demi cannons there are crewed by master snipers. They managed to knock out both guns and leave the crew totally unharmed.Quote:

Speaks for itself :P
It's a testimate to how much ETW artillery sucks that they only took four casualties from that barrage :blankg:
:laugh4:
On a sidenote, you shoulda used the exploding shells. I don't know why people use the gas ones, they're practically useless.

I think it rather speaks for itself...
Canons can use the quicklime shot better, but with mortars, you should really use the explosive shells. Anyway, quicklime looks more spectecular here :2thumbsup:Quote:

Still, with THAT much horrible acidic fog pouring down around you, you'd figure they'd suffer more than three dead :annoyedg:
You also have to consider that those are "green" gun crews. If they had more experience I think you would have seen better results. I've had some experienced gun crews that made 40-60+ kills per battle.Quote:

"Oh dear. Not only have we just been hit with a cavalry charge on our flank, but someone has turned off gravity. Help!!!"
These can also be found with several others from the Battle of Philadelphia in a Mead Hall AAR about my RTI Episode 3 campaign. Shameless plug, I know.
Love the realism in this game!
I've had more luck with the carcass shot than quicklike, really. It seems that with the fire you just have to hit guys with the smoke and it'll take out 10-20 of them.Quote:

Unfortunately, this can only be done one picture at a time, for which you may need to minimize and maximize ETW several. Which is why I love FRAPS.
hmmm....ill try it later today if i can.

Possibly related to Captain Pugwash's unfortunately named "Seaman Stanes"?
Semen is a common Russian name. Unfortunately, the latin script does not allow all "e"'s to be spelled out correctly.Quote:

I think the fellow in the background there is being sick.

My first impression was that they appeared to be simply nancing about, but I like your interpretation better. :bow:
Oh, just noticed it today, LOL. Some 4 months after you asked.Quote:

Seige Weapons are always good for funny pics, but you think they would fix them when cannons were becoming an essential battlefield unit.
"Alright lads, We've only got one cannon to guard this ford so we've got to make this shot count." Unit proceeds to make the cannon into a bomb. However the rammer is having trouble packing all the gunpowder and decides to get a running start to help him ram it in.
