Any Tutorial 4 Tips

Post by kr0p0s »

The tutorial is all about using your skirmishers effectively to overcome the enemy forces. Any tips? I assume its best to keep the Detatched Musketeers in the woods and snipe at the enemy formations, but what to do with the Hussars escorting the Boyars? They tend to get charged down by the enemy Kurrasiers.

Don't put them in front of them!

This. Hussars are faster than Kurassiers, you should be getting behind them and then turning around to either charge the enemy in the back or shoot them if they're not engaged.

Also, if you understand the primary target rules, you can force the enemy cav to charge your boyars rather than your hussars by putting your boyars 2 spaces in front or directly adjacent to the enemy Kurassiers.
