Britannia Campaign: England

[Askthepizzaguy]

ATPG's preview of his England AAR:

Turn 1: Moved all expensive forces to occupy the nearest forts to take advantage of the free upkeep. This creates a huge and expense-free standing army.

Did not allow even a single province to rebel. I beefed up my garrisons in ireland and moved my capital to Nottingham, then Oxford next turn. Recruited all forces I could afford.

Turn 2:

Moved all free-upkeep forces in a generally western direction, hopping from fort to fort, making sure I didn't break my budget.

Moved new recruits into the forts for more free upkeep.

Moved spies and other agents towards wales. Beefed up Ireland again, built churches and so on.

Turn 3:

Around about this time, a large army is forming in the fort next to Wales' capital. My armies in Ireland take on King Brian and succeed.

Turns 4-7:

Huge amounts of forces arrive near the Welsh capital, as well as catapults. Irish settlements begin to fall. An alliance forms between England and Scotland.

Turns 8-10:

Wales' capital falls, Caernarvon falls, only one Welsh settlement left. Scottish still busy with Norway. Ireland reduced to two provinces... Ireland's public order problems are gone.

----------------

Future turns:

Ireland should be dead or all but dead by turn 15, and then England invades Scotland, betraying the only other major power.

Game over, English victory. Difficulty: Vh/Vh
