The Tales of Your Greatest Victories

Tell of your greatest victories on the campaign. I shall start-

The Defense of Budapest:
I was playing as the Ottoman Empire, a few turns back i had liberated Hungary and Romania and pummeled Austria into submission. Several turns later, Russia decides she wants to expand west and attacks Romania and Hungary. Now Romania was able to take care of herself, but Hungary was having trouble so i join the war. Russia sends three full stacks to take Hungary, i have a stack of Nizam i-Cedid inantry and cavalry, Sipahis, Deli horsman, two howitzers, two 9 pounders, a bombardment mortar and the piece de resistance, an organ gun. A Prussian spy assassinated my best general so i had a green general, Sun'Allah Nedim, and leading the massive assault is none other than Mikhail Kutuzov. Hungary wasn't going to be much help, they had a few line infantry regiments, a unit of jaegers, a grenadier unit while the rest was armed populace. The Russians brought experienced musketeers, plenty of arty, heavy cavalry and three very capable generals. Things were looking grim for General Nedim, outmanned and outgunned, but the crafty general had one thing on his side...terrain. There was a nice little hill for the artillery to pummel the Russians from and forest to hide my light infantry. The organ gun opened the battle and smashed through the center of the line, while the mortar made it rain. The Hungarians started showing up, they thought it was the medieval age and threw all their men at the Russian army...they made fine cannon fodder, even routing a few Russian units with sheer numbers. While the Russian infantry was busy with the Hungarians, my line moved forward and delivered volley after volley into their backs. A lucky howitzer shot injured Kutuzov and his army slowly left the field. A few Hungarians were still in the game as well. The next army sent a unit of dragoons around my flank to try and take out my artillery. Unbeknownst to them i had some light infantry hidden there. They opened fire and massacred the cavalry. After some tough resistance, they decided to reform. The blob that was the second army lost heart when the organ gun ripped right through and took out the general, all the while mortars were raining down and howitzers and cannons battered them. The third army decided to besiege Budapest with the battered Hungarians deciding to go medieval once more. My men slowly arrived, this time we were on equal footing, no high ground for the arty, and only the slightest slope where i placed my infantry. My men were tired and depleted, after a while the Russian's numbers started to take effect and my light infantry routed. The Russians charged into my line, the fools. I sent my cavalry, which up until now had been used for cannon killing into the backs of the Russian dogs. They routed, Budapest was saved, and the Russians wouldn't be back for a while, giving my men time to recover and setting the stage for a massive allied (Ottoman, Hungarian, Romanian, and Crimean) attack into the Russian heartland. Sun'Allah Nedim had proven himself and will be chosen to lead the attack.

Had another great victory as Poland, but I've already typed a lot so maybe later.

Russia has reserves. They always do.

Besides that, excellent tale.

Awesome tale, but what are organ guns?

This video is from Empire, you can get organ guns Napoleon but you need a mod, like the Ottoman units and spawning agents mod.

Jesus ing christ that's awesome!

Three French armies had Sharnhorst trapped in Warsaw, they attacked. Im not in the typing mood, so I will just say that it was incredible, Franchmen fell by the score as Prussian jaegers continually sprang up from nowhere, wiping out line regiments. the Prussian artillery hammerd the French guns into submission, as lancers swooped around their rear and finished them off. Scores of Frenchmen fell as they engaged in deadly Melee with the more experienced prussians. Eventually a massed cavalry attack to their rear forced them into rout, thousands of Frenchmen lay motionless on the ground, the Prussians cheered their victory, and NTW crashed...

Did you have to do the fight over?

I loaded the autosave and it played out differently, the French armies seperated for some reason
