C3C PBEM: "Smuts" - the Boer War scenario-based PBEM

[ironduck]

Johannesburg captured!

Killed seven(!) howitzers an army and two militia. Although most of my units were redlined between bombardment and a lack of proper defenders it was fairly easy to get through. Also got an army which took down the last defending howitzer.

Also captured Potcherfstroum and killed the guy there, but lost a cavalry.

Killed militia. Killed cavalry and militia in Rustenburg and began siege. Not many Boer left, ready to submit to Her Majesty yet?

 

[ironduck]

Rustenburg captured, killed militia. Also took out a Kommando that had pillaged my road.. mine can't do that..

Have the Portuguese caused any trouble at all? Their army seems to be as worthless as the German. I've never played against a more useless AI enemy.

Captured Klerksdorp, killed militia. Captured Pretoria, killed militia.

 

[LouLong]

The Boers have accepted an unconditional peace treaty and surrender, blaming general Loulong for a very poor defensive strategy.

Yay, thanks for the game guys!

So what is the verdict on the game?

 

[ironduck]

It was fun, though it's definitely only a two-player game. The Boer probably need to have slightly cheaper offensive units, but other than that the only changes needed are that the costs of camps and other important buildings need to be strongly decreased (I never built any since it was pointless).

And I still don't know why the British Kommando can't pillage but the Boer Kommando can.

It's over?


Oh, well... the good news is that the Zulus survived!

And they DOUBLED their size!!!
(even though the British did most of the work)
