executing my queen of 50 years in my marthras campaign after i started a revolution and sided with the rebels. kinda funny that she was (i assume this is the back story) the leader of the rebellion against the mughal's and then she got killed by the revolutionists :D

direct hits with mortar are always funny. wiping out half a unit with 1 shot ftw :)

If you send a rake wandering around Persia, he sometimes picks up a little monkey.

I finally got to see the musket choke earlier tonight. I was playing as Coarland, and my men were attacking a Russian fort. My line infantry had scaled the walls and were brawling with the firelock men when all of a sudden I see one my guys go behind an enemy, put his musket up and over his head and begin to choke the dude with his musket; flinging him from side to side as the poor guy struggled for air. The guy eventually went limp and my soldier just flung him to the side and looked for another kill. I cheered!!

One time I attacked a fort and the first cannon ball fired missed its intended target and bounced off the ground and then hit my best general killing him. Man I was so angry. First shot too.

The perfect counter-charge.

I was down to my last 2 units as the Portuguese invading France one militia fighting some legions etrangers on the side and a 12 liber artillery unit. French gendarmerie cavalry that had been chasing my general to the other side of the map finally chased him away and turned towards the guns. After firing 12 salvos at the french as they charged back across the map all the shots having missed the cavalry i was real angry.Had i been on the field i would have killed the men myself

.
When they came close enough i decided I'll lose anyway might as well make a heroic exit so i charged with the cannon crew and the cavalry run :beam.

having 6 smaller, enemy ships surrounded with my 2nd rates, and blowing the magazine in three at once, which caused the 2 others to explode, which lit everyone of my ships ablaze and demasted them, and frantically trying to get that last ship to surrender before my ships burned and sank, only to have it run through a hole in the line and float away wind at its back as my entire fleet burned up. I was laughing so hard I forgot to save the recording
