Oh my gosh! I will never get used to all these newfangled acronyms these kids use these days. I hate them. I always spell everything out. It's part of my OCD. Oops, I guess I don't spell EVERYTHING! [;)]

Thanks zakblood.

I've really had an eye on this game for some time and this AAR has really helped firm my decision to get the game.

but i don't stand still in attack and move round to the flanks and rear

Isn't there some kind of engaged status for units in adjacent hexes in game (especially once they’ve traded some shots)? Units should not be able to side-step and skirt around another unit like this while under fire. At a minimum there should be a massive modifier to the defenders shots as the unit tries to disengage and then re-engage all while within point blank range of enemy musket fire.

once a few shots and rounds have gone in, their morale drops enough for you to just do the moves without the penalty being to much, if i move both behind i can't fully still engage, but moving one slightly to the flank while still using a focus point or 2 helps, plus when also my guns engages it just tips the scales, i didn't want the fort / defences, or the men in it, but was a bonus to have them out, i was after the guns behind, and just used the men in the defence to get to it tbh.

kind of a faint or bluff, attacking one to bypass to a better target, doesn't always work either.

Just was lucky.

what battles do any of you want me to do next, pick any as i play them all, and either side at any difficulty level as well, you chose i'll play and post...
