The King Is Dead -- FOG II mini campaign (Concluded)

[Rico]

I'm having trouble logging in to Steam to download and install the game so I'm stuck right now
@Bootie
I'll try to get it sorted, keep you posted.

For some reason, Steam really doesn't seem to like you... was it something you said?

They really piss me off sometimes.

I did get FOG II and all the DLC for 25 Euros though...

We are up and running!

Maybe cavalry doesn't get the woods hide bonus?

Unlike infantry, cavalry isn't hidden at the edge of a woods. Mounted units need to be two squares back to remain undetected.

Thanks - good to know.

@Rico what process do you use to upload images, I'd prefer my pictures to present in a similar size to yours.

 

[chiquichops]

Subtle maneuvers not being our strong point, the Anglo-Saxons use the age-old tactic of "get stuck in there son!"

I just use a Bandicam screenshot and then crop and resize them in Photoshop.

Beware...You must be on the Trump Golf Course!

You can resize in paint... in the game you get closer pictures by pressing Shift 3... in paint you can also write captions.

 

[Badger73]

You can also adjust the size of an image when you "copy" it into a post on these forums.

The Welsh are sent packing by the army of Wessex, 15 - 45.
I was dismayed to see the Welsh had a decent amount of Noble Cavalry and they did punish my right and threaten to outflank but the Anglo-Saxon Hirdsmen broke the Welsh right flank surprisingly quickly. Mead all round for the lads!
Thanks @Nelson1812 for my first FOG II game.
