+1. I like it, when cannons go boom, boom, boom.

Light troops had good reasons to quickly run away. Quite a few handgunners and arquebusiers were hanged straight away once prisoners of Gendarmes, as their weapons and way of fighting were considered as vile and contrary to the noble law of war.

Not a re-release as far as I understand it :
- Memoir'44 Online (2011) was developed and published by Days of Wonder.
- Memoir'44 (2027) is being developed by Volcanite Games and published by Slitherine.

If I get it right, you've only played Historical Campaigns and/or Epic Battles.

If so, start playing Custom battles, changing each time the Map Types and Scenaio one.
Lots of replayability. Hundereds of hours of play.
The game shines with terrain changes.

Try Quick battles and Fight Now!

You can ...

What is the justification for the mechanics working this way? I'm hoping there is one (...)


Be reassured. There's always one or several historical justification(s) for any mechanics in this game :)

As I see it, Gendarmes have no interest in wasting time and energy in running after light foot ...

Hypotheses are sweet as candies but of little value without the beginning of some evidence ; in this case, we don't know which translation was used... :-)

Besides, this experiment is based on the research of a Doctorate in Greek History, an indication of diligence (and of his ability to translate ...

I am afraid the whys of 73% are a matter of hypothesis.

If I get what you mean, melees were the normal/ultimate way of fighting for a hoplite phalanx but, in 73 % of the cases, one side collapsed before it because of its part-timers who refused it and run away before the impact. Because of ...

For those interested and who wouldn't have noticed, there's a bibliography on the matter, when you click on 'more' below the video.

Not being an heavy reader about warfare, what surprised me the most is the premise of this experiment being that phalanx breaks before or at impact (that is charges ...

A very interesting video about the Hoplites vs Hoplites charges and especially routs.
Serious work.
In French but with very good subtitles in English as far as I could tell :

d'Artagnan, RL King's musketeer and character in novels, died during the siege of Maastricht in 1673 at the age of 60, most likely with a musket shot in his head, while he was leading the charge in a narrow passage. He was buried in a unkown place, his body never found since. But a few weeeks ago...

Does anyone know a free/'friendly' substitute to imgur that works in the UK (and elsewhere) ?

It also depends on what kind of (war)game you want, whether or not you're willing to add speculations and mistakes.

I modified the bit of script (shown above) aboout the reinforcement/withdrawal of the AI army, forcing it to occur only on human player’s turn, as new bugs happened today such as the reinforcement message ou the reinforcement not showing up at all. It seems to work better :

if(((GetTurn() == 6 ...

a more mixed army would be more (...) historical.


« historical » means based on written and archaeological traces, not maybe, most likely, etc. The issue with the Sea Peoples is that very little (if anything) is known for sure about them.

Their geographical origin is uncertain. And the fact of ...

Thank you so much for taking the time to look at it and reply !
I keep on testing to see if unwanted results come up.


But there is the issue of the rout % calculation.


Once the Persian cavalry has left, the Greeks have to rout 100% of the Persian non-light infantry to get a 53% win :).

To ...

I wrote this fragment of script for my scenario script (here is only the upper part of the FUNCTION) :

FUNCTION StartTurn(side)
{
int turn;
int i;
int id

if (GetTurn() == -1)
{
SetUniversalVar("Deploym", 0);
}

if(((GetTurn() >= 7) && (Rand(1,100) <= 20) && (GetTurn() <= 11 ...

I get it.

1) I added RemoveTeam at the end of the fragment about the Reinforcement in my scenario script :

FUNCTION StartTurn(side)
{
int id
(...)
if (GetTurn() == 3) // For testing.
{
id = PlaceUnit(36, 42, 4, 1, 6, "EASTERN_HILLMEN")
AddVizCam(GetUnitX(id), GetUnitY(id), 0 ...

Thank you very much, Richard !

I succeeded in turning the Persian Infantry into Reinforcements with Artaphernes as their C-in-C.

But I haven't figured out yet how to use the FUNCTION RemoveTeam.
