Kind of a weird AAR I know - but hopefully give you some idea. I finally realized that to win, you can't let Magdeburg or Kassel fall. So I pushed Gustavus over there with the man army right way. I sent Horn up to take Kohlberg but left Baner with Gustavus (GIIA). I decided to leave Mecklenburg to Leslie & Willie S-W. Once GIIA had Magdeburg secured, I basically left it to the Brandenburgers. GIIA then traveled southwest and started taking cities beginning at Frankfurt/Main. After traveling down the Rhein, I found he had to take most of those little cities to get a secure supply line.
Meanwhile, Horn took Frankfurt/Oder. He got sidetracked for awhile defending Magdeburg, but eventually was able to head for Prague then Vienna.
Up north things were very slow. It took Friedrich 34 months to take Lubeck; While it took Leslie 34 months to take Hamburg. Leslie won numerous battles against the garrison during that time.
Final totals (Swedes/HRE)
Morale: 179/26
VP: 3499/3619
Losses: 58,167/ 96,444
Combat Power ratio: 100/58
Some oddities I don't understand:
Baner again got promoted over GIIA. They had been in the same stack all game long and when Baner got promoted to number one - he suddenly outranked Gustavus. What an outrage! {grin} . I wonder if you have two generals with the same rank it goes alphabetically?
A couple of times, there would be a battle where the Swedes would be declared the winner, but suffer more casualties. Then the so called winner was demoted for losing that same battle it said he won.
Sometimes when a leaders stack was completely destroyed - they just kind of hung out there , getting in the way
Sometimes it would call off an assault for not having a breach, when there was one.
