How to protect against pirates? And weird lost battles.

Fri Sep 21, 2012 8:19 pm

The pirates in the Mithridatic war scenario are a massive scourge and I've lost more EP than I can count against them. How would you suggest that I protect against them?

Another problem that I've had has been these clear stalemate battles where both sides have usually lost the equal amount of men and the enemy has retreated but it's still counted as a loss and because there's usually a lot of lost elements against Sertorius the NM penalties are crippling even though these battles have decided nothing.

And another question: How long are the storms supposed to last? In april the mediterranian is still very unsafe.

storm areas are fixed, most probably when one is gone, the next close by comes.

there are however,

spring/fall storms
summer storms
winter storms
...not paid by AGEOD.
however, prone to throw them into disarray.

PS:

‘Everything is very simple in War, but the simplest thing is difficult. These difficulties accumulate and produce a friction which no man can imagine exactly who has not seen War . . . in War, through the influence of an infinity of petty circumstances, which cannot properly be described on paper, things disappoint us, and we fall short of the mark.‘
