battle type

[Tamza]

quick question how do u set battle type when using battle generator ie, assualt ,defend meeting engagement etc the many the manual seems vague on this point.

Clik on the green arrows pointing at each other in the upper right hand of the setup screen

In the upper right hand portion of the screen between the country icons, where it says human control/computer control etc are boxes with arrows in them click on one of these to select battle type Assault, advance, from the force you want to perform that function, and meeting engagement which put both forces on equal ground.

A little slow on the typing I was.

Tamza,

The ratio of your VPs to the opponents determines the level of victory. Against the AI, if I recall right, you need a 3 to 1 one ratio for an MV, and a 6 to 1 for DV. So, if the AI got 1000, you'd need 3000 for MV and 6000 for DV.
