New Leipzig PBEM AAR

[milrevko]

T36:

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, isolation is not good.



Next I will get some shots of the ARTY battle across the broken bridge at Leipzig otehr then taht all the action is concentrated in the south. I am literally dropping every bridge in the north and even every bridge on the map. The 200,000 allies in the north will not be racing down to save the guys in the south. They will have to repair the bridges. But before they can do that they will have face all the arty I have left at leipzig to kill anyone repairing bridges. In defence of the river bridges I have left three corps and roughly 6 division, I can monitor the movement and counter attack any attempt to cross the river. All this while I try to cause 100,000 casualties in the south.

Remember this game is only on turn 36 that means there is 300 turns to go. I plan to rest after the the destruction of the southern armies, repair the bridge and go after the allies in the north when I am done in the south...

Big Duke:

I wish the game engine instead had an optional rule that would just allow skirmishers to be attacked more than once in a turn. I think almost everyone would play with that option.

They really did a good job with the civil war game, it cost extra movement to move adjacent to a unit with skirmishers deployed. Which in fact is exactly how 99% of skirmishers were trained and used for.

Another way is not have either side deploy skirmishers and have the units fight as battalions, what a concept.

Ever since cav units can break down people have also been using them ahistorically also...
