I don't get why he has BOTH Ambush and Cover.

I don't get why he has BOTH Ambush and Cover. In case the other doesn't trigger. |

*facepalm* Well, replace Cover and Counterattack with better skills.

*facepalm* Well, replace Cover and Counterattack with better skills. I haven’t had the statistics class for engineers so correct me if I am wrong, but the probability of cover and ambush triggering at the same time is 1/100, or a 1% chance. So they do not work against each other as badly as it might seem. Cover can stay. Cover is a bad skill and should be replaced |

So they do not work against each other as badly as it might seem. Cover can stay. Cover is a bad skill and should be replaced Yup. And this is why having both really doesn't work against eachother too much. Cover is usually a 5% damage reduction on average. The chance of either one or the other activating is 18%. Thus, having both reduces the average damage reduction by cover to 4,5%. That 0,5% doesn't matter much. It's 1 less damage should an enemy general do 200 damage. Not that this matters much. Alert is a superior damage reduction skill over cover. I'd estimate that it reduces about the same amount of damage as ambush on average. Plus it's more effective the more aggressively you play. |

I agree. But skill swapping cover for alert seems a waste of textbooks. And if you need to spend more than 5 textbooks, macmahon is not your guy. He like bismarck is a cheap and solid alternative. |

But macmahon is much better for history mode as there will be french history mode missions. Only french generals on my team are foch and petain, who are unusable in history mode unfortunately. So buying macmahon as a cheap general with potential later on is smart. Joffre is also not a bad investment, but he needs way more than 5 textbooks to make him good.

He's quite the wall but deals consistent damage so buying him won't hurt much |

How do you know, the new history missions aren't even out. Also you'll most likely not be able to use Macmahon as he is a 19th century general. |

There are far less good french generals than there are good austrian generals. Come to think of it, what if we don’t get to use macmahon as you don’t get to use Mackensen in the austro prussian war |
