Napoleon WWI Mod

[A Nerd]

You definately need some form of cover. I thought that with the range and accuracy of the artillary, most infantry and calvary would be widdled away before even reaching the enemy lines. Tactic seemed lacking, for they generally just stood idly by firing at one another. THough I loved the rate of fire and high casualty count. Calvary's only use seemed to be taking out arillary. I didn't notice much flanking in the videos. I hope it stays away from trench warfare, you know, keep it ahistorical in that sense. A nice implimentation in the future could perhaps be mine fields and MG nests. Perhaps placed during deployment of the defender. I dind't think that WWI would tweak my interest, but those videos were kind of compelling.

edit: I thought of this just now in regards to defenders deploying mine fileds and MG nests...perhaps the modders could develop a scout like unit that could survey the field during the battle to note the before mentioned. They would be made vulnerable such that infantry or calvary would deal with them rather effortlessly. Sort of in the vein of those units that could hide in open terrain in earlier TW versions. It might add in tactic as you move the rest of your army toward the enemy lines. Perhaps even these scout units could unrealisticly deal with mine fields or tamper with MG nests if gone unseen. Perhaps this is dumb, but it just came to mind presently.
