I won!

Mon Jan 28, 2013 7:43 pm

I've owned this game for something close to a year now and I finally won a grand campaign! I should really say "I finally get the logistics/supply!" because that's why I won. I was able to keep my Austrian armies supplied while avoiding battle and repeatedly trapping Prussian armies in bad supply areas or forcing them to winter in bad supply areas (Twice luring armies to their doom near Prag and 3 times trapping armies in the Bohemian/Silesian Mountains in the winter), then pouncing on the weakened Prussians, wrapping things up in August 1759 with the fall of Magdberg.

I love that you can pursue an effective logistical strategy. It's very authentic feeling!

You know what, I think it is! My ego needs to be knocked back down by an experienced player :)

Keep the Austrians, then. They are much easier to play than the Prussians IMO.

IIRC you need to make a certain number of posts before you can PM anybody..
"Umbrellas will not be opened in the presence of the enemy." Duke of Wellington before the Battle of Waterloo, 1815.

"Top hats will not be worn in the Eighth Army" Field-Marshal Viscount Montgomery of Alamein K.G.

I dont really see the point in that.
