Battle of Lutter - Thirty Years War Campaign - 1/28/2015 4:52:37 PM

I've been playing through the Thirty Years War Campaign and loving it, but I cannot figure out a strategy to win with the Danes in the Lutter scenario. The briefing mentions the stream will disorder (disrupt?) troops crossing, but I never see any impact when the enemy comes charging across.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Steve

The stream does not "disrupt" them, it only disorders them. (Disrupt implies morale deterioration as well as formation loss). They don't have to rally, they recover (dress ranks) as soon as they are completely across. For them to count disordered by the stream, you have to fight them while they are actually in the stream square. So you have to stand in the square immediately behind the stream.

There are some suggestions on winning Lutter here:

Ah, makes sense. Thanks for the help!

This game is as good as playing with my 28mm ECW armies on the tabletop! Well done.

Finally squeaked out a win with the Danes 60%-57%!
