What Battle Tactics work for you?

Thanks for putting the image of gunning down 1000 retarded children huddled in a ball into my brainz...

But I guess the wolves were going to eat them anyways if I recall how the story goes originally.

Stop this thread now - you guys are killing me!

Seriously this light infantry 'clumping' behaviour is totally whacked! I attacked Lisbon as Spain without artillery, and was a bit worried by their light infantry line -up with the long range post-patch muskets. Hardly suffered a scratch as the whole stack spent the whole battle trying to fit into a Mini Cooper instead of shooting at my army. They're acting like a herd of startled goats. CA really need to look at improving the battle AI.

Wish I'd had some howitzers though.

I suffered 15 casualties, mostly due to crossfire.

If you had had a cannon two volleys with round shot would have given you three stripes per gun.

LOL inorite?

beter yet would have been quicklime and shrapnel shot:

quicklime+hundeds of men dying+tons of little shrapnel pieces falling= uber lag.

No! only round shot would have gotten a hit. Maybe canister at 40m. Everything else is just wishing. Shrapnel is always too high. That is why it does a good job on cavalry but you always miss the infantry.
