New Orleans strategy

My strategy is based on Artillery. Bismarck is in the final fort and I spawned 3 artillery to blast my way out. I spawned a couple more and advanced slowly down. You need your war chest available at this side not on the left. He was out on round 11.

Li Shimin is in the second right castle and blasts his way out by around turn 13. You need to co-ordinate his advance with Bismarck’s. Hug the right of the coast and with the help of a couple of archers take the cavalry post. Li Shimin will sit on the peninsula and support Bismarck.

Bismarck needs to take the infantry post to the south west of the two artillery factories. Spawn what infantry you can to support final advance to the target. Li Shimin can make his way down to support this.

Over on the left I used Nelson and Saladin to distract the enemy and release Nobunaga who does likewise. They are not needed in the main objective.

I don’t have Napoleon but I guess it would be easier.

Edit:  Just redone this.  You don't need any archers to support Li Shimin's capture of the cavalry post.  Bismarck and his artillery support (I spawned 7 in total) can do this.  I also realised that if Li Shimin concentrates on the right-side (as we look at it) of the wall, then when Bismarck escapes he will be in range to help release Li by them concentrating their fire on this point.  They can then in tandem move down the coast mutually supporting each other.  I had full Paladin set on Li and full Odin set on on Bismarck.  The other three just distracted local forces.
