Hello all!
I wasn't quite sure where to create this thread, so I decided to put in the most general part of the forum.
When I was lurking on this board w/o an account, I was noticing that y'all talked about general tactics for missions as well as detailed walkthroughs/guides for the individual missions. Often throughout both Imperial Eagle, Coalition, and to some extent, the HRE campaign, I have found that attacking artillery units stationed in factories instead of generals, infantry, or other units is often the best way to ensue the survival of your generals and other units. Anytime that securing Paris or a similar city was required, I would send my generals to attack and then occupy the adjacent factories to neutralize the AI from pumping little single-width light artilleries, which had the potential to collectively put out a lot of damage per round.
This tactic (or strategy?) is especially important for missions like the Battle of Waterloo mission, where neutralizing Metz makes the rest of the mission a thousand times easier! I would love to hear y'all's input on this and if you've found something similar to be true in your own experiences.
Thanks,
