I also prefer long campaigns. I play the Spanish campaign more than the other scenario's put together. The 1805-1807 campaign would be great. Personally, I have some doubts about the 1812-1814 campaign. I'm afraid there would be too much micromanagement. This is also the thing that puts me of the gr...

2. If my assumptions are reasonable and the scenario is "biased" on behalf of the French, then what could one do to balance the scenario (to add to the fairness at the expense of historical accuracy)? For example, most or many of the HPS Sims games allow shifting a balance scale, if one scenario is...

Hm. Maybe Diraska is on to something. Just tried the 1807 campaign myself (latest patch). - 1st battle: about a 100.000 russians against 30.000 french. Result: Russians lose 5.000, no french casualties. - 2nd battle: same battle but with Russian stance on "offensive": Russians lose about 30.000, Fre...

I've played most campaigns now (with both sides) and have never experienced such disparities in casualties. Sure you're not missing something?

Were you out of supply?
Was the cohesion of your troops very low?
Were the troops not properly organised in corps and divisions?

désolé mais pour trouver le dossier "SAVES" situé dans NCP c'est une galère :p leure: pourtant sur mon Pc sous XP y a aucun probleme mais sur celui équipé Vista impossible et je joue maintenant sur ce dernier (ecran 22" + grosse configue phenom d'AMd). Je demande Rechercher saves il ne trouve rien ...

I WISH!!! I'm in Virginia, USA. I would love to see Flanders. Not far to Waterloo from there. You are correct. In fact, I live 10 miles from the battlefield. I'm now playing 1812 again and, yes, the Russians don't seem to need food or rest. Two of my corps, on the other hand, were worthless as figh...

If you are prepared to come to Flanders, I'm game.

I'm sitting at home with a broken arm and have nothing better to do.

It's possible to win as the french. At the end of the scenario almost all Russian troops were dead and most of the cities captured. I was, however, very lucky with the weather. 1. I think you need be very agressive the first few turns in the centre and destroy as much as you can of the Russian 1st a...

are highpocrisy explainations clearer? I can try to rephrase mine also. Or perhaps someone with better english skill can try. Yes I did an unofficial quick fix for an HOI patch where Paradox had a bug in their savegame procedure about Research items (I even got a thanks from Johan for that!). Stran...

The leader need to get 4 promotions points or more to be promotable, you can check the starting seniority and current in the element detail panel I do not understand anything of what you just said, dear Pocus. Anyway, haven't we met before? Didn't you develop some quick fix for a paradox game? I re...

I think "promotable" means "promotable when the conditions are met". When leaders have engaged in victorious battle there is a chance that they can be promoted if they have enough seniority. What the chances are or what constitutes enough seniority I don't know. I'm curious to know myself. You have ...

I spoke too soon. In two previous games he arrived ready for promotion. But not in my last game. Maybe because I play with a slight randomization of officer stats.

Cuesta is the real bane of the Spanish army. I've never won a battle with him, even against Reille (not a genious by any standard - 2/2/2) with his division while outnumbering him by more than 3 times. Incidentally one of the biggest problems with the Spanish officers is that only rarely do they ge...

I put the worst div commanders in command of the locked garrisons, like Cadiz, Cartagena, etc.

I think the AI in this game is extremely good (as AI's go, that is).

- From "Spanish insurrection" you get 2 line inf (together with some cav and some useless militia). As it also gives 2 NM, you should press F3 each turn to check if this option is present. - I think there is also a (random?) event called "coalition replacements" which gives some (6?) line inf replac...

Haven't played 1815 yet. But in other campaigs the casualties seem OK. In fact I was sometimes surprised of having to fight the same forces over and over, where the defeated armies should really have desintegrated after one or two severe defeats.

Bylandt

The Spanish campaign is my favourite. Two remarks however: 1. In my last game with the Coalition I took Lisboa and destroyed Junot before Wellington appeared. A few turns later the "Cintra convention" happened and newly arrived Wellington was sent home. That seems absurd as he's obviously innocent. ...
