But in the end all that stopped me was a race to occupy a hill in which to force the French into a bottleneck. But alas... They beat to the top, had to reform my lines as quickly as possible but only after one volley they were on me, and it was hand to hand from there. My Calvary did all it could while my artillery fired in vain, if only I had canister shot! I could have broken them!

“Take time to deliberate, but when the time for action has arrived, stop thinking and go in.” ~ Napoleon Bonaparte

General dead, all artillery lost, and over 800 dead.

Yeah this was my first time taking on the AI on hard difficulty, fucking love this game. Detail is amazing. I was hoping to take Quebec with it's valuable trade/dock. But fate was not on my side, tough little nut to crack that city is.


Form up in a small valley, then you have to reach a hill then up another hill which forms into a bottleneck for artillery to tear you apart then infantry was outside, as well as inside the fort.

I can concur with the love for this game, all though playing as the English is a bit easy.
