Re: Portugal and Spain events

The questions center around the end of 1807 and early 1808. The Spanish are allied with the French who are being careful to not alienate the Spanish and have entered Spain with 3 French corps and a cavalry corp but pushed on Gibraltar only entering Portugal as far as Elvas. The entire Portuguese arm...

We used your answer to realize the disbandment of the Portuguese Army is normal, but are stopped by the British reform event that states it fired but has not seemed to have had any effect on the Nritish army.

Portugal and Spain events

Does anyone know which events and scripts run in the Iberian Pennisula. We have a multiplayer game running and as the French approached Lisbon, the Portuguese corp disappeared, and the British reform event, although adding two corps, actually decreased the number of Available divisions.

Re: Some newcomer questions for grand campaign

The game is brilliantly designed to dive into the details of the period when major powers would battle each other and then sign favorable treaties where border territories were annexed as a reward for winning. If you attempt to play using more of a Hitler 3rd Reich approach, or perhaps that of an ex...

Hi: I have a friend who has been into Napoleonic Miniatures for years. It would be helpful if he and his friends could run their campaigns on WON, but fight their battles in miniature and then edit the units based on their battle results back into WON.

Re: WON: Russia & France War Alliance

I believe you are going to find the game going into a different direction then you plan and the alliances you are working for, will not give you the benefits you intend. Neither Russia nor Prussia will become the partner you expect. The challenge is not 1805, nor 1806 or 1807. The Grande Armee is so...

Re: WON: Russia & France War Alliance

You might be able to get more victory points and a marginal victory that way, but to win outright, you will need to take Moscow, London and Madrid. After Tilsit, Russia will likely put its efforts against the Ottomans, who they will eventually overrun unless you intervene. The good news is that a lo...

Not sure if I have the answer for you, but it is partially addressed by Phoenix above. It is common to push forward with your stronger advanced corps such as France's 3rd, 4th and 5th corps. They do the brunt of the fighting and take losses. But since they have better commanders and better units, yo...

Re: Is just playing scenarios - e.g. Borodino any good

Perhaps the same question as above. I found the Borodino scenario within the directory, but it does not show when I load the game and try a new game, so how can I load the scenario if it is not showing within the options for either the short scenarios or the campaign scenarios?
