    How do you activate them? (logfiles) Appears there will be a tomb to the unknown Arab soldier in Denmark of all places...

    He was recruited there so it seems appropriate.

    I just retrained my valor 8 7 star general because of high period, hopefully I'll get him up to 11 before Late sets in..

    My favourite one-man unit is Harry the Hashishin assassin. Valour 12 harbinger of chaos.

    I've used him to kill generals 3 or 4 times, by leaving him hidden on the battlefield for ambushing Generals within depleted units (as suggested in Frogbeastegg's guide). It's basically a lottery as to whether I correctly guess the opposing army's path of approach in defensive battles.

    He has shot a 6-star Byzantine king in the head, and defeated a 4 star CMAA unit of 20 men singlehandedly. Needless to say, both armies did a very good impression of a snowflake in a microwave. He has accomplished many other mindbuggering feats of bravery.

    Harry lives in Constantinople, enjoys long walks on the beach, killing cavalry in the forest, and getting stoned off his nut.

    Hmm mabye my Arab was a relative of Harry, he certainly was as brave and maybe Harry taught him the whole arrow dodging routine?

    @ Roark,

    I'm still chuckling over some choice phrases there. I'm just trying to picture what an MBFoB medal would look like.


    Kenshin-san,

    there's a tickbox for activating battle logfiles, somewhere in the game menus. I forget exactly which one but suggest trying 'Game' sub-menu first.

    Failing that, ISTR it being on the same page as realism stuff, ammo, morale, fatigue etc. ?

    I've just leafed through both manuals and can't find any reference to it at all! I think it does get a mention in the VI readme file though.

    I may come back and edit this post after my next game session, when I'll double check which menu it's in.

    EYG

    My Arab is nameless no more (although I did forget his name ). He is actually not an Arab, but a European of some sort, his name was Lord _____ ______. I checked it right before I logged on the Org, but I forgot his name and it's on the other computer, I'll try again when I get on later.

    I'll check out thos log files as well, sounds intriguing.
