That's great news. Thanks so much for keeping this game alive!

<r> Those army corps need a lot of room to manoeuvre. When Mack passed through Munich on his way to Braunau the whole army was spread out over nine hexes (81 km) along the road. Thankfully the French were so kind and didn’t advance down those roads from the north. [:D]<br/> <br/> <IMG src="https://w...

I know, that's why it might be a better idea to just attach them, even if that means you have to create a new post for every image. It's just sad to read AAR's from several years ago that used a hosting site, and all the pictures are gone.

AFAIK no, only one attachment per post. To post more than one image you have to upload your pictures to some image hosting site and then embed them in you post.

Your experience playing PBEM

Oh no, it wasn't PBEM. I was playing against, well, Antoine Imbert. [:D] Sorry about the confusion.

<r> I did use the same strategy in a previous game as the Coalition and got a marginal victory. But that was in v3.04 and with normal fog of war. And I rather give up ground and preserve my army than defending some small town to the last man. It could have worked if the French wouldn't have taken Vi...

<r> I think I just lost the campaign. The French took Vienna, which was defended by some reserve units (8,000 inf, 4,000 cav) and are about to take Linz and Enns. That means I can't set up my ops centre any longer, and without supplies I'm screwed. So there's no point in continuing, really.<br/> <br...

<r> Here some unit stats. I couldn't find any of Buxhowden's units while shuffling through the stacks, and only half of Kutusov's, so didn't include them.<br/> <br/> <IMG src="https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/upfiles/58375/6034206D23E34ABFAAE825151A8C0E5F.jpg"><s>[img]</s><URL url="https://www.mat...

That's some interesting house rules you got there, might try them next time I play as the Coalition. Do you normally win using those rules, or do you get crushed by the French?

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Rasputitsa<br/> <br/> I was wondering about the losses in stragglers as you retreat East, are you using forced march (I see Kutsusov is), because if the units keep moving, then the stragglers cannot re-join and a retreating army could melt away. <br/> <e>[/quote]</...

Thanks! Playing as the Coalition is definitely more challenging, especially when using 'reports only'. I really like the utter confusion it sometimes creates.

I'll continue the AAR today and will post some unit stats, as requested.
