War and Peace

[robboo]

2 units to 1 unit...ax vs crossbows. Processs of attrition.

We cant out produce him so we have to out number him. Cold war USSR vs NATO....lots of low tech weapons vs few high tech.

Yes - I think I would have done this anyway. I like Cats with combinations of accuracy and bombard II (I think) to get defence reducing and collateral units. If I've got extra cats on top, then they get combat or city raid (if they can have it ??? ) to form suicide units.

My setup for cats:

Get 4 an accuracy promotion (2nd promotion).
Give the rest bombard promotions, even if they survive.

Thinking:
Gotta have the first 4 to strip the defenses. Send in the rest to do as much damage as possible (since they're cheap and have a 10% chance of withdrawal anyway) on suicide missions. If they survive, congrats, and here's another bombard (or occasionally a CR) promo. The CR promo is to deal extra damage to the unit the cat is initally fighting, if there's the one tough nut in a city (read: longbowmen on a hill). Eventually, they will all wear down and that's when you send in the axes/swords/maces.
