Finally bought Fall of the Samurai and these are my thoughts

[TargetSlayer]

I have had probably the most fun messing around with the FOTS units. Based upon a number of Long Campaigns with different factions it is too bad that the AI armies continually walk towards my army, since I have no will-power to stop employing a lot of arty pieces. Almost every encounter sees the opposing army routing before ever getting into rifle range. I only play vanilla and prefer Normal/Normal. I wouldn't have minded a hard-code limitation on arty pieces (did I mention I have no will-power to play by house rules?), and of course get those AI soliders hustling to the front instead of slowly marching forward. In the end though, what is needed is the AI fielding much more arty pieces to get me moving from my defensive position.

Still, agree that FOTS works on a number of fun levels even if it is typically weak on the challenging side of things.

TS!
