    Default So here's the situation...

    I've started a campaign as prussia, and this is the farthest I've been in ETW without rage quitting. I've had a revoultion. I've never had one and I didn't know how to treat it, so I sided with the rebels because I like being rebellious lol. Now, my capital has good units in it and a lot of them (about the top row full with 1 or 2 units filling the lower row.) They gave me 7 units and now I am expected to march on the capital with these... I read that I would lose the campaign if I didn't win this battle... Is there anything I could do to get more units or win this battle in general... I'm pretty good at battles, but this is just beyond my ability...

    Don't think there is anything you can do. You could try reload your autosave, but in my experience this gives you worse units then before when a revolution happens. You could offcours reload the game and try to avoid the revolution.

    Read the guide on governments and revolutions if you wanna know how they work

    Hi there.
    One good tip on revolutions, is to remove any of your own troops from the capital region before you insert the revolution. That way, you want have to fight your own army. That still leaves the random generated AI defence, that can be anything from the very elite of units, to militia and armed citizenry.

    Best solution is to side with the government. Post extra units to your capital before the revolution so you can beat the rebels and hang the survivors etc.

    No, your revolutionary "army" can't leave the capital region.

    Yeah. Hope you have an autosave, or your screwed.

    Well, I have a crazy idea, but how about you try to win the siege battle by initiating a siege, waiting for the enemy to sally, then keeping any unhidable units off in a corner somewhere, while hiding any other units off to one side of the enemy fort. When the enemy go off to kill your unhidden units you take control of the fort and try to hold from there.
