And so now, some screens of my current campaign. The British have been very resilient, and upon invasion of Ireland, they sent some of their finest, and plenty of them. The following is a battle of two British stacks trying to repel my invasion force.
A bloody dawn begins

Take a look at the mini map...Prussia is huge, and will be a chore.
I do not think this campaign will go well for me, but it has been fun battling the Brits on every turn without an end in sight.

Now in 1757, things are looking better. I just landed a new invasion force to solidify my hold on Ireland, and have moved into Scotland.
It will not be long, and the British empire will have fallen beneath my boots.

Yet I have an awful long way to go to claim any victory
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
It will not be long, and I will have to turn my attention to Spain and Prussia.
It may get a little dicey
Cheers everyone.

Hello there ^^ ,
- Some pics from a naval battle in the western med where my tiny portuguese fleet was surprised by a Barbary States fleet:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Somehow the galley line managed to wreak havoc on their main battle line so they don't come at me all at once, lucky !
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
More luck firing to dismast enemy admiral's ship (5th rate), the main mast fall on the second broadside and their admiral is killed on the third... Did I say luck ? The following xebec charge ahead to protect his crippled flagship.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
My brig screens my flagship while gunners are reloading and... more luck: the devastating broadside cut their main mast cleanly. The third enemy ship, a sloop, manages to get around its ailing flagship just to be hampered by the dismasted xebec...
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
The portuguese brig maneuvers around its flagship, using its speed to block the sloop in front of my 5th rate and it quickly surrenders after some close pounding. But enemy fire concentrates on my main ship while galleys begin the chase...
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Fortunately, the light galley had no support because the following galley managed, god knows how, to crash straight into its surrendered fellow sloop's hull. Taking grapeshots from both sides, the matter is solved with two broadsides. Did they bring women aboard to get so much bad luck ? At last, the other ships can attack together.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Or not... Must be some harem... Enemy's second 5th rate lose one mast before even firing a broadside. The second light galley take the lead from the wounded big galley, shooting all it has to the rear of my flagship. One shot is a close call, killing one and claiming a leg one feet or two away from my admiral.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
The remaining light galley goes boldly for my brig but not fast enough, grapeshot is merciless and a concentrated fire sweep all the commanding crew. The following big galley finally engage just to dive in a fire storm, losing its last mast and slowly changing color courtesy of all its crew's spilled blood. Another enemy ship to strike colors but galleys' fire took its toll on my flagship...
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
However, God is still with us, those of the True Faith, or that harem didn't sink, and a second mast come down on the enemy's second flagship while another lucky shot exterminates their admiral and all his staff. My two ships try to finish off the wounded beast but it refuses to bend and even more to die despite the beating it suffers.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Seems they ditched that deadly harem, at last... Luck can only last that long and my valiant brig is sinking, all alone, due to hull damage. It wasn't defeated, so it's a glorious end and most of its crew manages to get out as it drowns slowly. Admiral Teixeira climbs up his main mast to get a better view of the whole picture. There are still enemy ships willing to fight though most of them are dismasted but his flagship isn't that better with many guns lost.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
He wants to help his other ship's crew but they'll have to wait. He must finish the job first. If he can... One last look behind and orders are given to get back at the enemy. Fortune favours the bold and the first 5th rate we fought lose heart for no apparent reason after chasing us for long minutes and strike colors. Perhaps a fire under the deck or a mutinery ? Whatever, it's for the best, the Santa Teresa has so much holes on both sides that canonballs can go trough its hull without hitting anything except thin air.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
A last effort, some well adjusted broadsides and the two last disheartened enemy ships still fighting ask for mercy, sick of the bloodshed and unable to outmaneuver us anymore. Time to pick up the braves from the brig and realize how incredible it was to survive this day...
The last broadsides (just wanted to try to post a video to see how it works):

Thanks ODaly .
@ Grandpa: actually, it seems I'm quite good at naval battles even on VH but I suck at land battles (well I manage to win here and there but it's very very messy, let's face it, on land I'm a butcher ).
- Anyway, can't give you back rep atm for the recruitment of admirals hints so this one is for you: what happened to the spanish admiral ship, the galleon "Oriente", of the MED fleet (again against portuguese admiral F. Teixeira, this guy need a statue in Lisboa !):

But you just Rock !

@Dazo
OK, it seams I am unable intellectually to post pictures...
thus:
The usual battlefield.
Where:
Red = the enemy
Blue = Me
vIv = canons batteries
mm = infantry
cc = cavalry
_______________cc____________________________________________ cc
__________cc vIV vIv mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm vIv vIv cc
_________________________________________________________mm mm(<-- low line inf)
_________________________________________________________cc__cc
____________________________ mm vIv vIv vIv mm
___________________________________mm
_______________________cc
I am always in attack !!! thus I have the first move and the AI (usually) waits for me...
I tease his canons one by one with my concentrated fire of three batteries.
He sends his protective cavalry to attack my canons, I let one battery to pound the respective cannon while shift the other two to kill his attacking cavalry. Repeat with all AI canons till all AI’s cavalry is gone.
AI canons will attack my forward low line infantry. My cavalry behind them is (if possible hidden or protected by terrain) out of canons harm.
At the moment AI cavalry is spent, its infantry will commence a full (slow!) attack.
My left/right cavalry will sprint in an ark and kill all unprotected remaining artillery.
My forward infantry on the right will then move to the “L” formation:
___________________________________________________
________________mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
__________________________________________________________m
__________________________________________________________m
__________________________________________________________m
__________________________________________________________m
________________________________________________________________________
____________________________ mm vIv vIv vIv mm
___________________________________mm
_______________________
Forcing AI to show the flank of his units (one by one) to my cannons, with the respective moral impact of cannon balls (not grapeshot !!!!) mowing down whole files....
Then the final kill....My cavalry is attacking from behind, etc.
I kill almost all, let us say, from a 2000 me / 5000 them the result is me = 100 max causalities and the AI is left with max 100 (if is lucky) out of 5000....
Hope it was clear enough......

Hello Guys! I am new to this mod, just wanted to share my first battle which was a naval battle against the barbary state, 2 of my brigs against 2 of their row boats
I won, captured one and got some cash for it. In my gameplay, which is Sweden I am right now sieging Paris after brutally beating the Russkies, taking both Moscow and Kiev.
