    I told this story on the Italy campaign. But My dad traces our family back to 3 brothers who served in the Grand armeé. They were in a Line infantry regiment. Their last name was Appelon, so a Line infantry Unit called “Régiment d'infanterie de ligne Appelon” would be amazing!

    Lionheart I must admit watching you over the years your use of Cavalry has improved, it's great to see you not waste them needlessly. Again you used them correctly for the most part today. However allow me to remind you that Napoleon: Total War uses calvary differently than other ones.
    Light cav = shock offense, always use 2 in tandem and ignore the main lines, snip cannons generals and single infantry units.
    Heavy cav = defensive counter cav, mobile support (especially for skirmishers)
    Lancers are not heavy cav. nor are they truly light cav. Simply put they charge only cav. meaning it doesn't matter what their fighting, they have to charge and break off. if they get stuck in their dead. This also means they are wonderful at shattering and shredding units with flank and rear charges.
    In summary Lancers stationary in a fight are dead.
    Lastly thank you for a great series I have enjoyed this so so much.

  • @sebastianethan3156
    @sebastianethan3156 10 месяцев назад +13

    A suggestion for you to keep an eye out for later on is the abilities unites have. The old guard have a trait that makes the enemies moral drop when they get close, I also think the young and middle guard get it as well. These units are extremely good if you can get a few volleys off in a kind of fire and advance (don't use the ability, it sucks), then charge in with them, it will almost immediately break the enemy they push (great for splitting the enemy army). There are also special units you can get by building a supply depot, like swiss infantry and swiss grenadiers, Italian units if you take Innsbruck and Polish units from Warsaw. Also pay attention to units that have Guard (of course) or a pèid in their name, cause they are units from napoleons guard corps or personal units, they usually have pretty good stats and some get cool traits.
    The way artillery works is the firepower number represents how much shock it creates to the unit it is attacking. Napoleon Darthmod arty will never get you many kills, but it extremely good at demoralising the enemy, however accuracy also plays a role. My suggestion is to use 8 or 12 pounders a lot in the start to get their accuracy up and still have the high firepower, plus the range is great. My favourite is a combination of 12 pounders with 6 pounder horse arty, so 12 pounders can pluck away from a distance and the 6 pounders can rapidly advance to a flanking position covered by cav.
    Good luck with the campaign and keep an eye on the prussians from land and british from sea ;)

    • @sebastianethan3156
      @sebastianethan3156 10 месяцев назад +2

      oh and also, don't engage nelsons fleet. I've played three france campaigns with darthmod over the years and I can tell you, that man has insaaaaaane bonus's. Unless you build as big a fleet as you can with 122 gun ships of the line 74 gun ships, you'll never break him. His base stats give him something like +5 moral to his units and +6 command at sea, plus speed bonus's. He's already beaten the spanish (probably giving even more bonus's) and my best guess is, from what his fleet looked like after the battle, he captured the spanish 140 gun ship of the line. That thing sucks to fight with all the buffs he gives.

    Letter from Gisèle Faure to his wife in Rennes Brittany
    Mes chers belle épouse,
    I understand your anger at me over choosing to go to war over staying home. I know we talked long into the nights over this and we agreed that it was final however I know better than to think your heart is still not heavy. However I owe everything I have to our great Emperor, he personally appointed me as Colonel in the Gendarmes impériale to oversee Brittany. The fateful ball where we met was again thanks to him encouraging me to stop working so hard and to come with him to enjoy the wonders of Brittany. That you all know well and true, you also know that being a Colonel in the Gendarmes has grown on me. Investigating crimes, catching criminals, and keeping our lands safe is a drive I have had for all my life. But there is something else I find as a reason for my return to his armies, not the chance to help this Gendarmes d'élite de la Garde impériale into a true fighting force as was waved in front of me. Not the chance to come back as a Capitaine from being just the most senior non-commissioned officer in the army.
    As I ride out today, currently attached to Napoleon's staff as the head of his security. I realized how much I have missed life in the army, the life of a soldier is the life that I have had for so many years. While I can settle into civilian garb, and a semi-civilian job the thrills of combat and the army have quietly called for me. It is a powerful call, the thrills of scout and skirmishing are something I have enjoyed in the Gendarmes. However there is something it missed, I wish I could put it into words but I can not find the words in French, English, Dutch, or German to explain it.
    While I am temporarily attached to his staff Napoleon has met with me already that I am to lead a company of the hussar regiment he has drawn up and ordered to reinforce him with all haste. However, with all good plans, they must change and adapt to what is going on around them, a group of lancers came into camp today, and their commander a drunkard whom Napoleon dismissed on the spot. As I was on his staff as a wild card to slot where needed, I now find myself training up a company of lancers who are horribly underprepared and undertrained. Thus they rush to make sure they understand how to do their duties as heavy shock calvary to the best they can. Napoleon has informed me to not get too comfortable, as he knows he can rely on me to get his calvary into the best shape and he wants all his calvary as best they can be. Now with Murat a Marshal commanding his own army, he has elected to have me take up his old role and be the man he can always turn to for a solution with Calvary.
    While I know this letter is growing long, I wish to summarize the first actions of the campaign. The first warning we had of a Russian army waiting in ambush for us, was when a group of lancers rushed past the main army and were pounced on by that army. They were cut down to the last man, fighting bravely but lancers once they stop moving are as good as doomed. Thus we rushed to avenge them and destroy this Russian army. They sent their attack aggressively at our center, clearly determined to knock our 12lbs out of the fight. However, all they achieved was to be slaughtered by canister shot from 12lbs cannons. That is not to say we had our own way the whole fight, one of our lighter cavalry units attacked the enemy's lancers and paid a bloody price for it. At the end of the day the battle was won, however, it is clear there is still many newer commanders of companies and such. The errors are those of greener officers, and I only hope that they learn fast and prevent such losses in the future.
    My brother and his company of line infantry are reported to marching in Italy, so if you hear anything about him please let me know. I hope to hear from you soon, your last letter noted morning sickness is finally passing. I excitedly wait to hear of your and our baby's health when it arrives.

    Have loved the Napoleon revival! Thank you!
    Unit name suggestion - it would be nice to honour the stalwart resistance of the citizens of the Vendée region, who during the reign of terror and other protracted cycles of violence during the initial French Revolution kept up a protracted counter revolutionary offensive that sucked resources from the military during the period, generally leaning more loyalist to the monarchy.
    Honouring them with a regiment with particularly high morale would be a nice touch - "Piliers de la Vendée" (stalwarts of the Vendée).
    As the area is now one of the global centres for round the world sailing races (see Vendée Globe) you could alternatively make this region a naval base hub and name a flagship after them too.

    Also also, a dedicated army for each General that fit their style of command would be awesome
    A infantry (may be grenadire) unit will be called 'The mid-life guard', i think it will be funny

    Economy recommendation:
    - destroy your ports on the atlantic to north sea coast. These ports will continue to be blockaded by coalition forces.
    - turn Toulon in a commercial port, expand your commercial ports in east of gibraltar. Build up trading fleet.
    - keep the french fleet at Gibraltar.
    I found that the British seem quite incapable of defending their own ports. Having 2/3 sloops on the east coast of England and Wales can really damage the British economy.

    Unit Name Suggestions for La Grande Campagne
    Infantry (Line Infantry/Fusiliers) - Grande Armee de Napoleon
    1er Regiment de Fontainebleau (abbreviated 1er Reg. de Fontainebleau) - 1st Regiment of Fontainebleau - Named after Napoleon's imperial residence and palace at Fontainebleau.
    2er Regiment d'Orient (2er Reg. d'Orient) - 2nd Regiment of the East/Eastern Regiment - Referencing Napoleon's veteran soldiers from Egypt and the Middle East.
    3er Regiment d'Egypte (3er Reg. d'Egypte) - 3rd Regiment of Egypt - comprised of Egyptian soldiers (ex-Mamelukes/Bedouins/Ottomans) which have made their way to Europe to serve their Emperor.
    4er Regiment de Bretagne (4er Reg. Bretagne) - 4th Regiment of Brittany - comprised of Breton soldiers conscripted for Napoleon's Army, these soldiers of Gallic ancestry and heritage are apart of the Emperor's Grande Armee.
    5er Regiment de Louisiane (5er Reg. Louisiane) - 5th Regiment of Louisiana - these soldiers of the Americas have returned home to France to serve Napoleon's cause. Since in 1803 their lands were bought by the US, these French-speaking colonists are returning home for their new Emperor.
    Elite Infantry
    Marins Francaise (French Marines) - Originally on men o' war, these elite veterans of the sea have been trained to fight with European line battle doctrine and originally serve to maintain order and discipline wherever they are stationed.
    Vielle Garde Imperiale (Imperial Old Guard) - Napoleon's revered elite infantry, veterans of over 15 years of fighting and battles have turned these soldiers into battle-hardened masters of war. These men have seen it all and wore distinctive bearskin hats to show their fearsome status and reputation, giving them an unforgettable presence on the battlefield.
    Jeune Garde Imperiale (Imperial Young Guard) - These soldiers are elite in their own right, their skills and marksmanship are seldom seen on the fields of Europe as they can rival even the 42nd Regiment of Foot (the infamous 'Black Watch) of the UK.

    Feu purificateur - Cleansing fire - 6lber/8lber/12lber foot/horse artillery
    General's Staff Names (you can right click the icon of the general's staff after viewing the portrait/traits of the general/admiral of an Army/Fleet and change the unit name)
    Napoleon - sa Majesté Impériale (his imperial majesty) or le petit caporale (the little corporal) - historical affectionate nickname of Napoleon for his personal attention of the soldiers.
    Michel Ney - le chevalier maréchal (the marshal knight) - Ney was Napoleon's famed cavalry commander and Marshal of France who served with him at Waterloo.
    Jean-Andre Massena - (La Grande Marechal ) - One of Napoleon's most successful marshals, Massena's armies and tactical prowess served the Empire well.
    Pierre-Charles Villeneuve's Flagship - L'Ocean - The Ocean (historically inaccurate to Villeneuve's actual flagship at the time of Trafalgar in Oct. 1805, but Ocean was a French 118 gun heavy 1st rate which was constructed during the French monarchy and was sailed by a different French admiral but would be fitting for the 122 gun ship of the line that is used by Villeneuve in-game)

    The reason french ships are not "rated" is because the rating system was a British system, the french didn't use it, they just called them by how many guns the ship had.

    For the grand battery of the convention, it doesn't have an exact caliber in reality as it was never an actual unit, it was basically just taking all the artillery and massing them into one battery, one can assume the battery is 12pdr. as that was the most commonly used cannon, however it can really be any available caliber

    Lionheart, you can name one of the Marinier regiments as "Hornblower's Bluejackets". Both a reference to Horatio Hornblower in the books and tv movie series and bluejacket was an old term for regular sailors back in the day like these infantry sailors would of been called. I am also an active duty US Navy sailor so seeing that would be awesome to witness.

    Lol, 122 gun Ship of the Line would be beyond a 1st-rate. In fact, the French were the only nation to field ships of this size (that saw action, mind you) - namely the L'Orient that got blown to bits in the Battle of the Nile by Horatio Nelson. A first rate is any Ship of the Line with 95-105 guns, so ~100.

  • @chessell256

    Hello Mr LH, Sir,
    Excellent consolidation of armies for Napoleon and re group for a push against Austria.
    Excellent first battle! Depth and Reserve with Cavalry counter.
    Remember Lancers are to counter Enemy Cavalry, Hussars are to push on routing Infantry and cut Artillery down, eventually with an Infantry follow up. Lancers left in a battle will be ripped apart. They are counter Cavalry only.
    Please use Militia to Guard all your ports! The English, then the Dannes and Dutch will try to burn everything!
    The Brittish are your main foe. Without their diplomacy and Pounds Sterling to finance the wars against you there is no war.
    Punch Vienna in the nose and prepare to invade Britain as soon as possible. Garrison the Rhine. The Prussians and Dutch will turn on you quickly. Defend the main Rhine Bridges and all will be well.
    For every full Army in advance have a small corps of Militia follow to Garrison your City conquests and this allows your armies to move on. Not every army needs to be elite. A balance of Milita and cheaper Cavalry can produce succes early on especially with venterancy mixed with line infantry.
    Vive L'Emperor! Vive Napoleon!
    Love this content and keep it coming.
    🍻

    I always hated that the cannons target the sides of the formations in ETW and Napoleon. Usually I'd manually target the ground near the center to avoid this. Also the game would sense you targeting the enemy cav or generals etc and they would flee, but when you target beneath them...they'd just stay there and take the fire.

    Suggestion, try to raid British ports with that sloop that you used as bait. You should also build all your ports as trade ports and leave a militia unit there so they don't destroy it. At most they would block it but at least you won't have to repair it. Keep an eye on the dutch bc they have a full stack near your and the English might also land on your north side!
