my italian campaign so far

n/n difficulty

playing the italian campaign and im about 1hr 30 min in..... i love it so far and the game is worth the slow download. I just captured milan and turin a couple turns back.

a few things ive noticed are: the bai stands and shoot, cannons are devistating when you position them right, RECRUITMENT POSTS ARE GOOD and more realistic.... regions with recruitment posts heal you units if u don't hav one in a region u r screwed, cai has some trouble occupying cities(Milan was undefended), cai still sends in 3-4 units to pillage your towns (though on the italian campaign this is more effective because there are a lot less armies), the game is less sandbox and more story

if anyone has any questions on the italian campaign ask.... i give ntw a 8/10 and etw a 6/10

nice report dude, but what do you mean when you are saying Unit Posts?

I ran through the Italian Campaign last night on Easy/Easy just to get a feel for the game. The BAI was shockingly good in some battles, giving me a bit of trouble even on Easy. They managed to keep their lines coherent and to stand and shoot, try to outflank and break my center, etc. I also like the recruitment posts a lot. It gives some degree of reality that I can't be in enemy territory, lose a battle, and magically refit my whole army in 2 turns. Also, the attrition in winter months in enemy territory is a nice touch. Hopefully the Mods can turn in up so you'd lose half your army in a few turns in winter Russia without a captured city.

The supply posts are a sort of recruitment post which heals your units in a similar way to that retrain button in etw. you build supply posts in your towns and your retraining ability increases as you uprgrade the supply posts...ex +6 percent to retraining then +8 etc

the bai definately does more damage to me then etw.... but the auto resolves are ridiculous in the game

what's with autoresolves?

Your feedback is appreciated, thanks.

Why cannon to the right? Surely both flanks are the same?
