It's no surprise you don't understand Clausewitz; a clown who thinks he's a military genius by cowering behind others wouldn't know anything about real war. You seem to have the same problem as the Bavarian; you've been yapping about how you were going to wipe out Denmark, but all I see is your troops standing around in Zeeland while Norway does the fighting. Grow a pair, German.
Okay, dream on dude.
Pray tell me how does one actually "move" a province? This is a new one to me. And if you want an honest battle, stop cowering behind the walls of Venice and come out. I guess this won't happen. Some of us don't need to read that turgid, immensely boring and ultimately irrelevant stuff Clausewitz wrote, to know that.
Originally posted by PhlabibitHe's obviously still trying to figure that out; he's been standing around in Zeeland in front of the Danes since turn 3. Here, Saxon: you go to the unit and they're a little box that's says "your orders", click that. Then on the left there's a list of actions you can perform; scroll down to "March". Then rather than the "Hold Position" you've been doing for 8 turns, click under "Scania". Then you might actually fight a battle!
'move one province' is a distance.

Originally posted by buffalobillDon't make me laugh! You haven't manoeuvred for jack; it's been handed to ya. Pray your luck holds out, Saxon; that's all ya got going for ya.

Originally posted by buffalobillYes, I'll tell you exactly what my moves are going to be. Better yet, I'll e-mail you my turnfile.
Answer the question, lawyer.
I left Istria wide open for two turns before the Bavarian could work up enough nerve to come in. I re-took Frulia with a single militia on Turn 10 and he was afraid to attack it last turn. My boys are coming back from overrunning Arles; it takes a while to get into position. Plus it doesn't seem fair to fight the Bavarian before the 2500+ CS the Hungarians sent chasing after my marines in the Balkans come back. Then again you never know what Italy might do; we don't rely on tricks or stand there while our allies do all the fighting; we're not Saxons.

As Bavaria holds Istria, it seems pretty clear what happened there.
