    Default Anyone had a silly high K/D ratio yet?

    I was just fighting a battle as Prussia against Sweden. They were attacking, i was fortified up in the town. I used cover and stakes to stop them easily making their way down the streets leading in to a central courtyard. Behind each set of cover i had a unit of Line inf and a unit of Grenadiers. My artillery were positioned on the outskirts of the town, backed in to corners between houses and surrounded by sandbags.

    Now, this was a battle i had zero chance of winning. They had 2500 men, i had 800. I lost, my whole force was destroyed. However, what was incredible was these two little Grenadier units. It was just them and my general left, about 130 men total. I lined them up behind cover on the last street in to the courtyard and waited for the enemy to make their attack. For 10 minutes they held that street, killing 500 men each! The generals bodyguard picked up a very respectable 150 kills too! Basically Sweden had such vast numbers of troops left that they were literally crammed in to this street, wall-to-wall Line Infantry. Each round of grenades killed dozens, each cavalry charge another handful. My barricades slowed them down so much that they just couldn't get close enough to my men to melee (which i believe is what they were trying to do). They were dropping like flies!

    Quite an incredible sight to see really. Inevitably they eventually managed to kill off my cavalry (each charge cost me at least one man) and then the Grenadiers (who were getting shot at constantly by enemy units further back). The end score? Roughly 2100 kills to me, 800 to them If i'd had another unit or two they'd have been finished!

    Other commendable mentions go my three artillery units, who sent a good 400 Scandinavians home in wooden boxes

    So, yeah um 10-1 (by the unit). Anyone beat that? I think i'm gonna try and force similar circumstances again to see if i can get higher If i'd acted a bit quicker i might have got another couple of hundred, maybe even have turned the tide of battle in my favour.
