Replacements

Crown of Glory: Europe in the Age of Napoleon, the player controls one of the crowned potentates of Europe in the Napoleonic Era, wielding authority over his nation's military strategy, economic development, diplomatic relations, and social organization. It is a very thorough simulation of the entire Napoleonic Era - spanning from 1799 to 1820, from the dockyards in Lisbon to the frozen wastes of Holy Mother Russia.

Replacements

Post by Wolfeh »

To me it seems far too easy to replace losses in divisions and such. It feels like there's no real consequences if I suffer heavy losses, because one turn later and they're most likely healed. I was under the impression that units were rarely at full strength, yet most units are full strength all the time.

Thanks largely to your huge enough draft training size and your perfect supply system. More important, you had money to back them up.

I witnessed two Grand Armees thrusting into Swedian lands finally got cut down to a tiny fraction of themselves (and forced to bid farewell) by my intervening ships.

it is difficult to maintain a really large army in the field, i had near two millions men movilized with france and must put some to forage if i want some money, supply in enemy territory is more costly, and i have around 40 provinces in my control, is my oppinion but i prefer very large armies, them give more strategic options in the global game.

with regards,

There is no plan of battle that survives the contact with the enemy.

Luckily I saved myself the trouble by playing Britain, by which I managed just a nimble size of land units besides a long echelon of sea merchants supporting its treasury.
