battle of Austerlitz

as i said last time. look if there is a guide already in the "all campaigns" thread. it's pinned so it's at the top.
if you go there. you see we ALREADY have a guide for this one.

so just go to this: european-war-4.boards.net/thread/697/all-campaigns

Dear slendy,

I took this map without general only with 4 stars, but you have to be patience

First, you will have to borrow Brunn from Austrian, just take it and mass your cannon

Afterward, TRY NOT TO ENGAGE WITH FRENCH 5 STARS GENERALS, they are formidable in close combat, but all vunerable to artillery. So just line up ( or corner/ surround them) your melee units and leave the rest for cannon. If any unit is down, replace it so enemy wont get close to your artillery.

The orange circles show troops which you should be putting generals on. As you only have Golytsin, put him on the guards cavalry.

Alright so what you would want to do is to split your army into 2 groups, and make use of the river in this map to divide the battlefield into 2 halves, I will call them the north and south halves. I recommend sending Kutuzov and Bagration to the North half as both Lannes and Oudinot are there, so there will be a very tough fight going on. Remember to make use of the artillery to bombard Lannes and Oudinot while your generals absorb some hits and hold the Lannes and Oudinot back. Bernadotte will probably be busy with Leiberich, so maybe you can send in 1 unit to flank Bernadotte and demoralise him, allowing Leiberich to do a bit more damage. Sometimes, Austerlitz will fall to the French. If that happens, use your artillery to bombard it after Lannes and Oudinot are down, and retake Austerlitz. Quickly eliminate Bernadotte when Lannes and Oudinot are down, remember. You might want to take Brunn if it is still under the Austrians, as it will be very important. While you are doing so, send Kutuzov to Prague and hold your position. Kutuzov will be able to tank some damage, but once he is getting slightly damaged, move Kutuzov away, and make LINE INFANTRY at Prague and DON'T do anything with the line infantry (it is there to absorb hits as it has a lot of health).
Meanwhile, Golytsin (the one you start with) should go down to Vienna where Murat is. Make use of the heavy artillery to bombard Murat while Golytsin keeps Murat busy. Move Alexander I down to Golytsin as fast as you can, Alexander I's job is to tank heavy hits from the other French generals in the south. 




As you can see, the South front as more generals to fight (and dangerous ones too, Napoleon is commanding artillery, making him dangerous). WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT LET THEM TOUCH YOUR ARTILLERY. If any of your artillery are damaged or destroyed, quickly make new ones from Brunn. Send Bagration to the South to aid Golytsin. Bagration has Mass Fire, so he can do a lot of damage. When Alexander I has arrived to the South, Murat should be almost dead, and Soult at least damaged quite a bit. Alexander I should take down Murat, and then let your troops retake Vienna. Have your artillery concentrate fire on Soult, and Bagration go down to attack Davout. Golytsin can join in the fight against Davout while Soult eats your cannonballs and faces Alexander I. Still remember Kutuzov? You can send him south now, and maybe let him flank Soult. Once Soult is down, send the troops fighting Soult to attack Davout. Once Davout is defeated, it becomes easy. Flank Napoleon and bring his morale down, and have your most powerful generals hit him till he dies. Your artillery can also be sent in. Napoleon might try to flee, and thus you should be prepared to give chase.

Do not panic if your general dies, just make sure you are still able to artillery the enemy. The most important thing is, please please try to keep Golytsin and Bagration alive and the other generals at least with some health left, because you need them to tank against Napoleon.
