1755 Campaign as French - Version 1.03

1. Delaware Indians at St. Stephanie start the game Locked and are Locked up to the first winter so far. There is no Village there and they are taking "no supply" hits. Is this intended?

2. Units can entrench while they are inside a fort. Seemed redundant or unexpected to me. Is this intended?

3. Ft. Desquene - Two leaders and units there (as two separate corps) and both inside the fort and under siege by Washington (in mid-winter too the crazy fool!). One can set ambush and one cannot though both could set an ambush outside the fort with 75% chance. Really a general question -- Is ambush allowed while in a fort? Is this intended?

as far as question #2 goes it think the intention was to show how armies would dig field works and defensive lines outside of a fort to counter sieges and improve the defenses of the fort itself, but that's how interpret it

we will check the script.

yes, its intended. IBY explains it in a better english than me though

a loophole (ambush allowed in a structure), the bug is squashed and wont live the 1.04. Thanks for the report!

Thanks!

A good example of using fieldworks to augment a fort's defences would be Montcalm's victory over Abercrombie's much larger army at Fort Carillon in 1758.
