Matrix Games Forums

Just got this game and really like it very much

Want to ask the following questions

1)When try to attack - there is a " 1/+1 " ..what does this mean
2)Why I sometimes can use my unit to charge and there times that I can't ?

Thanks

1)Those figures represent the modifier applied to the combat.The first one concerns your unit and the second one is for the enemy unit you attack if I have correctly understood.

2)In order to charge an enemy unit your unit has to face your target because you can only go straight away in such a case.So if you want to charge it could be better to change the facing of your unit before launching the charge.

Hope this answer to your question.

Thanks for the answer

That's it's great strength I think. Like Panzer General and Civil War Generals it's a game both "grogs" and much more casual players can enjoy equally.

I haven't purchased this one yet but it sounds interesting. Seems like I buy everything Matrix publishes...

Anyway, along the Panzer General theme, is there a strategic component to this game or is it a series of battles without the ability to determine where you go next? In other words, can you for instance forget about invading Egypt and instead head straight into Iran/Persia?

No, this is a ladder style campaign, not tree style. Even so I highly recommend this game.

Perhaps in the next game in the series?

Alexander's campaign really needs to follow a path since that is important from a historical perspective.

The next game in the series does not require that, so there will be the opportunity to fight battles in a more-or-less random order. You will also be able to skip campaigns. However, there will be several historic battles that you must fight, and these will be scripted.

Deride

I think I will buy all the games in the series !!
