Chaironeia - impossible?

Post by xxCLASHxx »

I have played a number of multiplayer battles as the Greeks and cannot find a way to overcome the Macedonians, do you think that it is even possible for Greece to win. The high numbers of fragmentations on charge set the Greeks back as soon as contact is made and then melee is painful.

So any tips on this battle would be welcome.

Thanks

Hi SnuggleBunnies,

Loved the video, that was a very accomplished win and I learnt a lot.

I agree with your analysis though as in each game I have played the Macedon army was aggressive and hit my centre hard across the line, they kept the cav back until I had lots of holes and that pretty much is how the real battle went. Thank you for posting this and if you would ever like to play me with you as Greece then I would accept with enthusiasm.

Thank you.

You're very welcome. I'm a bit swamped with playing all the Swifter Than Eagles scenarios (and getting distracted by Second Front...) but I'd be happy for a game sometime in the future. You can also find me on discord, either in the official FoG discord or direct, SnuggleBunny#9098
