I just finished my newest battle, Siege of Louisbourg today, which I m also gonna enter for the chamionship. This was one of the most important battles of the 7 years war in America. The English (13500 men) attacked this fortress on the coast of Canada to cut of frenh supply lines to Quebec. The french (700 men) had some very bad luck. They had 5 ships of the line chich was more than sufficient to protect the port and the bay of louisbourg from the more than 21 english battleships and 14 frigates because the french had an island between the fortress and the other shore of the bay. But they were struck by bad luck and one english lucky shot hit the powder room of one ship and another ship caught fire to, the loaded cannons of the ships all shot their rounds because of the high temperature on the guns, taking down 1 more ship of the line and damaging the fortress, without those ships the english were now practically assured of victory.
Is anyone willing to test this with me, tormorrow 'saturday) afternoon? Tomorrow will be my last on line playing day, cuz I m leaving fo kenya sunday morning. thanks

LOL, the French had bad luck eh? I'd say the FIRST area they had bad luck regarding this battle was just being attack by 13,000 troops when they had only 700! I'd call THAT bad luck.
Anyways, SittingBull, we have never got one of your battles up yet m8 for one reason or another! Send me your most complete battle, let me look at it, lets get the ball roling again. I know you have spent a lot of time on some of these maps. But, if you have something done, then lets see it! As bud is out for a couple more days, send it to me. If you have more than one done then send them all! Lets get this ball roling SB. Nobody else will push to see your battles if you don't push them yourself. I want to see some of your work rewarded, so don't give up on your maps!
