The game looks pretty interesting... Does it have multiplayer?

How would you compare this to napoleon total war or ultimate general american revolution?

Do you think it's as deep and fun as field of glory?

The game could really use some better UI design...

Looks kind of neat. How big can the scenarios get?

Any other games like this? I've really been looking for a deep tactical game on a 1690-1815 type of basis

Does it come with campaigns or just certain battles?

This game seems like a cross between Command & Colors: Napoleonic board wargame and a real time computer game. Any thoughts about it? Definitely not a simulation, but it appears to me more of the light wargame category. The real time gives me some pause though. Can you alter the game speed?

Very interesting setup!

I had no clue what the hell was going on the whole time I was playing this match... lol ps. I also completely forgot to host a mirror after this one, as my schedule got busier and busier. My bad for that!

SB - Interesting match. Solidly played on your part. I thought that GF played really poorly and put you in the position of simply not screwing up to win. But you played better than “not screwing up”. I say “interesting match” because it, as with so many battles, offers some interesting “what ifs” that could have taken it in a very different direction. Well played. I realize that this is a long post for a 3-year old contest but, like I said, the “what ifs” intrigued me for a battle that was a mismatch as-played. I would be curious to hear SB’s thoughts on my comments on SB and GF-3’s play. Have a great weekend! Some thoughts: 1. You left 7 purchase points on the table. Did you not see the opportunity to upgrade two K&S to Das Reich and Totenkopf and give yourself a full SS PzReg? 2. In your post-match comments, you disagreed w/ GF’s force selection and thought, instead, he should have gone heavy on infantry. And then kept his army back in the narrower space between the water and the left flank forest. I disagree because that strategy keeps GF on a shallow field with poorer units where routers quickly flee the field while allowing SB a much deeper field into which to rout and, possibly, rally. You did that in a FOG II match as Viking infantry against Byzantine cavalry, where you kept it close until late rallies of your opponent’s broken troops proved decisive. 3. I generally agreed w/ GF’s force selection, perhaps with the exception of the Wagon. If, as you implied, the Wagon can help its commander divide the field, then it could have proved useful if better handled. Otherwise, I would have swapped it for 1NHA/1NLHA, and really goosed the cavalry advantage, as I thought aggressive flanking movement was his best chance. 4. Your forces were very similar in unit type composition, with the exception of the wagon and MF. Otherwise, he was heavy in MC, you were heavy in CBs. I thought that your unit types outplayed his across the board (even it not head-to-head), though you got a little too aggressive late with your MF and got burned (though too little, too late). Your combined arms management was far superior whereas he tended to piecemeal his grouped units types and got successively chewed up by your steady, competent combined arms responses. 5. In terms of deployment, I generally liked GF’s. I would have replaced his pair of right wing K&S with a mixed regiment of 1K&S/1NHA/1NLHA. I would have shifted his wagon left to the edge of the inner big patch of rough ground (to divide the battlefield between rough and open). I would have kept the CBs left of the Wagon (where he should have wanted to fight the battle). And I would have shifted the SzLC slightly to the left. 6. In terms of play, GF botched it from the beginning and then just compounded his errors. I thought that your right flank was weak, especially when his deployment was revealed - 4-3 in HC and 6-2 in MC (though even in LC since but with a regiment of SzLC just to the right of center). Your CBs, which you selected to counter his cavalry (especially MC), were out of position in the center of the field to cover the right flank. GF was too aggressive on his right flank, which he should have anchored on the Wagon and refused, leaving his mixed cav regiment to counter any aggression by you. Contrarily, he was too cautious with his left flank MC (until he lost his mind). I think a Schlieffen Plan was the best approach. He should have used his superior MC (numbers and mobility) on his left flank and pushed hard to outflank the hill upon which you anchored your right flank defense (ala Little Round Top), before your CBs could take up effective position. And then pushed his SzLC regiment, which was useless in the center (he kept moving them backwards) hard left to reinforce his extreme left flank (and blast through your lights). Lastly, he should have followed with his HC en echelon to threaten your efforts to then reinforce your right flank from the center. His comment about “not knowing how to use NHA to dig out defenders from good position revealed his failure to see his left flank opportunities. NHA (and NLHA) best work on the flanks where (1) their missiles first can weaken defenders, (2) they can break through weakened units, (3) outflank the enemy, (4) get into their backfield, and (5) charge stronger, engaged units - especially K&S - from behind. 7. GF’s opening left flank move was correct directionally but too cautious - he moved at infantry’s pace, which did not capitalize on your right flank CB weakness. The game really turned early, in the bottom of T3, when he paused his left flank MC (when they should have been advancing left hair-on-fire) and, incomprehensibly, directed his HC towards the right. After T4b, his right flank still had advanced furthest (at an infantry pace) when it should have been lagging. He further reinforced his right flank from his center. What was he planning to do on that side of the field? He lost his best opportunity to outflank your right flank. He compounded this huge mistake on T4b when he widened the gap in his left-center. Furthermore, he jammed his HC into the Wagon, like Stork leading the Faber marching band into the alley. This allowed you to reinforce your right flank w/ 2HC with no consequences to your neglected center. Oof. 8. On T5b, his commissar shot his left flank commander and took over, with typically disastrous results. Outnumbered 9-11 on the left flank, his commissar now attacked. He outflanked you on his left with his NLHA regiment and 1NHA (too little, too late). But his two MC regiments were out-of-position to further exploit the breakthrough and, instead, hooked into the stronger left half of your left flank (to keep the Schlieffen theme, like von Moltke before Paris without Moltke’s rationale). WTF? He launched a SzCav (w/ a general!!!) and a NHA into, but not through, your lines chasing light units. You broke those two MC relatively quickly, with negligible losses to your right flank. He left his other SzCav exposed to missile attacks on your subsequent turn, showing why these units had to move and not slog it out. Lastly, he suddenly realized that the fight was on the left half of the field and turned his HC back to the right (too late to save his left flank) and fell back on his futile right flank. 9. T6t essentially decided the game. Your LI weakened his as-yet uncommitted SzCav and then your MC charged it. You caught one of your few lucky breaks (I thought the dice gods generally favored GF) when his disrupted SzCav fled into rough ground instead of past it, which allowed you to (1) catch it, (2) break it, and (3) pursue it past his two reserve NHA. It might otherwise have been a swap if his reserve NHA could have jumped you in the open. You also pushed a LtArch into a small patch of rough ground in his center-left backfield, from which he caused damage virtually unmolested (though I thought you weakened his effectiveness by constantly changing directions). 10. In T6b, did he allow your pursuing MC (chasing his broken SzCav) to escape by firing missiles instead of driving him into the woods and engaging his disordered MC there with NLHA (this is where the SzLC would have been handy)? This at least would have offset one MC loss and kept your MC out of his backfield, as subsequently happened to your advantage. Without diverting 5 cav units backwards just as he had turned your flank (weakly as it was) - and subsequently hanging his extreme left flank NHA out to dry. BTW, your successful MC evasion by chasing the broken SzCav was really well done as the continued pursuit extricated that unit from a tricky situation after he opened the door to escape. 11. By the time GF engaged his HC on T7b, he was down 2MC (on his right flank) with two more isolated, outnumbered NHA doomed to expire on T8t and T9t. All in exchange for two fled (but not broken) LC. Considering how outnumbered you could have been on your right flank, this was a Midway-esque win. With his initially dominant left flank down to 3LC and 2 NHA and essentially crushed, the battle in the center was over almost as soon as it started because he was outnumbered, outflanked, and outmaneuvered (the damn wagon). 12. The final insult (by his own hand) occurred on T9b when he appeared to leave his K&S, which had broken a CB and got into your backfield in pursuit, from where CBs and LI pummeled it, in place to face a second round of CB/LI pummeling in T10t, which autobroke it. Now, he was in a tricky position as he had to extricate this K&S before he could capitalize on being in your backfield, where rear charges by a depleted K&S would nonetheless be devastating (or otherwise keep a bunch of CB/LI occupied defending against the possibility). This oversight(?) essentially traded a K&S for a CB, which is a big win especially considering that you could divert 5 units to destroy it at no cost because his wagon-obstructed center could not maneuver. Never mind that the CB subsequently rallied. 😉 13. I think that one of the best features of your play was restraint (until you got frisky with your MF late in the game). You resisted the urge to charge your HC against his MC early in the battle (that would have been very British Western Desert), instead reserving them for his HC. That was really wise. Then you just methodically ground him down as he attacked piecemeal. His generalship was right out the British Western Desert - committing piecemeal, charging armor into AT guns, getting outflanked.

I really fumbled this one! I hoped to have enough time to get into some sort of position and hold until my flanking forces arrived, but I underestimated the movement speed of the warriors and just the sheer friction that so many skirmishers can cause. I wanted more haiduks, but that list can only bring a single unit.

i want to share how i won battle of seminara,it is a pity that i can't show you the vidio link in bilibili

i feel i am really a general who make good strategy to win

I learned a lot from your closing comments. As they say in Asia, thank you for teaching me today! GG :D

Nicely done as usual, but just one request if is possible: can you please stay a little bit longer after you finish the turn in the "current chat" menu, well for 2-3 seconds more? Every time I'm in need to push back for 10 sec, because I missed and can't catch this momentum which is a part of the gaming process of course, it's interesting to me. Thank you in advance!!

Amazing mod...diving in myself 🚀

Awesome 💪

They can't shoot you if they are in close combat 1:40

my zyjemy, my zyjemy, polska nie zginęła

I didnt know the mod still had player base!

Hey man, would you mind playing the Ramillies scenario on the French side. I am curious to how you would play it

It also good if you to comment!

Honestly I thought you would lose! Nice job turning it around.

Forgot to mention one change here - I reduced number of turns routing units have until dispersal from 4 to 3. This leads to less atomized battles and fewer battles decided by distant rallies. In FoG it was reduced from 4 to 2, but because of the heavy casualties from gunfire distant rallies are a bit less of an issue in SJ/PnS than in FoG so I felt 3 was good.

Always loved playing timewrap mode in FoG2 medieval. Loving this mod so much too.

I hope this mod is gonna be a regular series of yours. Its not only cool from a game perspective (for which i will definetly be getting Sengoku for when it comes on sale) but also intresting excercise from a historical wargaming perspective. I am really curious to see how a japanaese army would deal with tercio Vijeos and vice versa.

SandRhoman History channel did an episode recently on Koxinga besieging the Dutch on Taiwan. I wonder whether this battle is based on that same conflict?

Wow, I really thought Ming was heavily advantaged by this map. Do you have a link to that turn and shoot mod you mentioned?

Your voice volume is too low. On 90% volume I can barely hear anything.

Hail brother, the volume of your videos got way lower since a month or so.

The spear/archer foot are pretty much a hard counter to any cav that is lacking lance, right?

Very nice

The sound of your voice is too low in this one. Good match though ;)

Audio issues in this one - my voice settings were low for much of this match, apologies. It steadies out towards the end, such is the nature of PBEM...

Good battle! I think the poor easterners are outmatched, and is also a bit strange that their best arm against northmen is their infantry. I don´t know if some light chariots, or ranged cavalry, could be added. Also I find a bit strange that the nortmen army is lancers plus superior knightly lancers like the rohirrim; perhaps they can be elite lancers and light spear?

Another useful guide thanks

Any videos on East vs West mod? Still waiting for my challenge to be accepted here, nobody wants to play weirdly!

I played the wokou pirates. My idea was to use cover on the sides to protect units for fire until good time for attack arrives leaving that central hill alone. Then couple of turns later realized that the central hill would be important so went for that also. It turned out it did not work, too little too late. Congrats to the victory. Well played.

No cav evade makes East Asian lists quite a bit weaker.

Thanks, I downloaded the Mod. My first try going to be a Spanish vs Eastern Mongols because... Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!

Fantastic! Now I can finally recreate the Swedish land invasion of Japan in 1651

This is everything that I wanted.

Very interesting 👍

Poggers

This looks great! Will be checking it out as soon as I've a copy of the game. Pike and Shot has been excellent so thanks for the recommendation.

Looks great!
