Secondly I think you are off-base. Sure the game can be viewed as a one-shot and you are done. That is, there is some replayability, in that your officers are never of the same attitude to you, and the objectives you choose for the scenario ...

RE: What I think of the game & Has anybody managed to beat the last scenario in Emperor difficulty?

<t> The only way I manage to beat this scenario is by being attacking in Spain.<br/>

First move during first turn [Winter] is to attack Andalusia from Catalonia [no winter attrition]. Way to win even though heavily outnumbered [with the partisan joining] is to screen the British cavalry with ...

<t> Just did again the last scenario and in fact you have the Early Class card at the start.<br/>

The card I got was mutiny in the Royal Navy which gave me 6 fleet in Brest [with the Early Class card] against 4 British one. If you win that one then you can beat the Royal Navy.<br/>

Is it also possible during the war?
Absolutely, I was taking over Lybia with the British when the AI created new units in Barka and El-Mechili then I lost a STRAT bomber. Well not a big deal.

And how do you explain the multiple damage done by the 50 planes?
