    Hey guys- Without digging into things just yet:

    Major battle with the French...lots of questions etc...1147...I lost a major attack on one front, gained significant land on the other...

    Here's the battle I'm referring to (that I lost)

    I don't know exactly how to feel about it...the attack had several objectives.

    It had been in real time, a good 2 or so years since I had launched an attack of this size in MTW and my battlefield "speed/reflexes" are definitely a bit rusty compared to how I was at my peak of playing for ages... but overall, still not bad...

    I also read in one of my other threads (I'll get to it...heh) about command stars and their influence on battles being tremendous...I was attacking a 7 star with a 6 star. I didn't know exactly what to expect here and I still don't know how much of an effect it had on the battle. I had far superior troops (I could post the specific units too).

    I basically either want to be able to post the replay, or just send it to someone who would be interested in viewing/assessing this replay. Again, I did have a few (nothing tremendous) issues with controlling that many units on an attack, and I had a horrible uphill attack to command. I think I might have had to be PERFECT with my point/click to win this one. I just want someone who has been playing longer/more to take a look at this and tell me what they think.

    At the very least: It's a hell of a nasty battle to watch...I mean, just a total butting of heads at the beginning.

    I also had issues with weather...started out raining and I figured good..this will render their archers weak: While I'm picking my attacking formation it stops raining...I didn't realize that the prebattle was real time on an attack as well. Although I do recall that being something I dealt with back in the day as well.

    Further, I thought I was attacking 1300 troops...then it was 1600, then in the end of battle log it turns out it was 2400. There was this like 4 unit row of cavalry behind their infantry up on a hill top that was not supposed to be there.

    I also had their general holding the left flank virtually by himself (down to a 1 man unit...just him) while 70-80 of my horseman and 45 feudal sergeants were in the "winning" state but they just kept dropping.

    I also found their troops as a whole, to be lightening fast. My entire right flank, with a huge numbers advantage in cavalry, collapsed and before I knew it I had enemy cavalry just FLYING around behind my front line spearman. Their archers were much faster than mine as well...and I had Genoese sailors.

    As a whole, I was expected the enemy infantry to just break down against my backbone infantry in the middle. It didn't at all...

    Before I write 8 pages here...Who wants to take a look, and how can I transfer my replay?

    Thanks

    p.s. I could have committed, literally 2800 more troops to this battle. I just didn't see it requiring that many and instead spent hours balancing units between two fronts, for a two front offensive. Since I'm out of the loop a bit for advanced stuff- I mean jesus, how many troops did I need for this? lol...At least I caused 1200+ French casualties. It definitely put a big dent in any steamrolling they would have been doing in western europe etc.
