Cossack besieging
Posted: Tue Jul 22, 2008 4:22 am
Searched the rules to check if cossacks could siege. Didn't find anything to prevent it, so I tried.
In combat phase the area was yellow bordered as expected, but when I clicked it I went directly to trivial combat between cossack and city garrison. No asking if I wanted to try get a breach. (I didn't. Just wanted to starve that french inf out...)
To noones surprise the cossack broke before the frenchman - and was retreated to adjacent area?? Not my expected outcome of a siege, I tell you.
This just cannot be the rules, but a bug. Maybe something about cossacks always attacking when ending move in area with an enemy. But as I understamd the rules a city garrison can't get into a trivial combat, which is a field battle. And it can't force anybody to leave the area.
But what are the rules ?
