There are alot of AI threads but I still prefer this one


So for the land battle.

When I first played it I tried the old ctrl-a attack, and got slaughtered. Enemy put longrifles in tree's, cut off my artillery with his his calvary and cut my men apart with thier cannons, all the while encircling me. I was quite impressed.

Second battle I divided my guys up into 3. Scots and Hessians and Cannons Center. 2 long guards and calavary on right ford. 2 long guards and whatever else go around the long way to the left ford.

The AI made three seperate pushes I was impressed. They sent long rifles against my left ford, 1 unit of minute men against center, and everything else at the majority of my forces at the main ford to the right.

Part 1:
Right Ford:

After lots of bloody fighting in the ford and shotting the americans charged and melee combat began. It was very close as the outnumbered me and one of my units routed. Luckily I had Grenadiers using gernades to keep the americans from advancing to far.


Center:

The one unit of minute men ended up losing out to the scots, and my cannons managed to take out all but one of the american's cannons. With things secure I moved that force to resecure the main force. Sadly the americans saw this and used thier last cannon to take out one of my hessians leaving only 2 units and 1 cannon to reinforce.

I sent the highlanders to reinforce my longuards.



Left Ford:

My longguards, with held of highlanders, beat back the longrifles and cause them to route.



Part 2:

Right Ford:
Reinforcements from Center arrive and we hold the Americans and begin to drive them back. I pull my men out of the melee combat and begin a shooting match again where the brits dominate. Help of my general and are new cannon arrivals the americans begin to get slaughtered. They move a group of minute men up to the hill above the ford to cover the others who try to fall back out of the Ford.


Center:
Moved to right ford


Left Ford:

Judging the battle lost the general, calavry, one unit of minute men and the artillery cannon moves to the left, trying to escape the main battle at the right ford. My long guards are there to cut them off and finish them off.


Part 3:

My long guards finish off the general and my main force takes the hill and wipes out the remaining americans.


VICTORY :)

A very intense very enjoyable battle. Can't wait for full game.
