"Have you got a problem with me aswell?" Not until you accuse me of being a liar. Bull? Do you know me? No, so don't tell me about myself. I was enjoying talking to you until all this crap started, if you preffer talking :):):):) at me to talking games then go for it, I really don't...

Poltair, I lost it with them for a reason and I'd do it again, I'm not somebody who tollerates people giving him :):):):), that extends to the internet aswell. Temper? They're lucky we weren't in the same room, a pitbull is friendly compared to me if my head goes, people shouldn't be...

I just noticed all the :):):):):)y, poncy comments about my posts, I come here in friendship, I get hostility from you, little :):):):):)es, are there any men among you? You wanted to hear about great battle moments, I told you about some of best wins, both tabbletop and videogame and you all...

I know they had the manpower, a survey taken just before the Celtic war of 228BC showed Rome could draw on a pool of 700,000 infantrymen and 70,000 cavalrymen fit for service (on paper), the Celtic tribes of the Po valley could only muster 70,000 men for their attack... 40,000 Celts died...

If the successors were so good, how come they fell apart so quickly against Rome? Phillip is made to look like a total muppet at Chynosephalae, he lost 8000 men and his reputation, after that, he becomes Romes little puppy dog. Antiochus III had his moments as a great general, but invading...

Dachs, you obviously haven't read my other posts, I won battles in the most hopeless situations, against impossible odds, I even won re enactments of the battles of Thermopylae, Stalingrad, Zama and many other battle where I turned a hopeless situation around through shear guile and bulldog...

I saw some footage and a photo from 1944 of a Spitfire with mk XIV(?) with US markings, it apears to be dark blue but the its in black and white so I'm just guessing.

Cheezy, and that was his undoing... A mistake both the Macedonian successors and the Greeks often made was fighting lots of indecisive wars allover the place, they nearly did it, none of them posessed Phillip II or his son Alexanders "go for the throat" atitude. Phillip messed about in Ilyria...

Cheezy, I'm not sure about Aginourt on the numbers I do that its THE battle the French don't like talking about because they say themselves that they should've won the battle. Yes he used his Numidians at Trebia, I was actually reffering to an action fought in the lead up to Cannae, Hannibal...

Traitorfish, another great example of tactics vs brute andnumbers is Agincourt, 5000 longbowmen and a few knights not just defeating, but obliterating an army of knights 6 times their own size, its actually more impressive than any of the Mongol victories when you consider that the English army...

For me the Mongols were great horsemen yes, but it was their organization and tactics that stood out, they Tutonic knights were beaten purely by superior tactics, if these elite German knights had actually caught up with the Mongols and brought them into close combat they would actually have...

I just dowloaded RTW UE, went into the unit art and put the Spanish Me109 into the Bf109 folder, it works! The Bf109 now has the Spanish Me109 skin (the one without national markings), I think it worked because the Spanish Me109 files are "grey messerschmitt" same as the originals. I also...

I always play best when I'm heavily outnumbered, I've the most difficult opponent, if I've lost a battle it was usually a deliberate delaying action against a superior enemy, buying time for me to put a full army into the field. In one battle I deployed just 2 units of Belaeric slingers...

As a rule I always find that if you stop them up at the breaches in your walls for long enough, their losses mount, units panic and it disrupts the next wave of attackers, allowing you to pick your targets and kill. I was dissapointed with "Alexander", no India in the main campaign, lot of...

Yes, the Corsair and Dauntless should deffinately make an apearance, when I played the RTW Paficic Asia campaign as the UK I was looking at the US troops and thinking "Mustangs were mainly used in europe, not out here" although the P40 was used early, it should be available to the Nationalist...
