I went through the video. The problem is, i bring more infantry and cavalry. My brigades are beefy and they are beefy because I have some solid commanders I can use for that purpose. And my arty isn't 7pieces per brigade either, those badbois need half of Bavaria's horses to draw 20 pieces per brigade. I cap out at around 46.5k total troops but AI is capping out 85 to 90k. That is a lot of troops. I mean, taking position is not a problem I've played that battle so many times I know exactly how to isolate them on day 1 and prevent the reinforcements from encircling me.
But in this particular run, I did not get there. I did not even get through the individual flanks I pushed the objective, and when they got the reinforcements there was nobody lower than 3k per stack. You are facing some puny 1.5k men brigades like my arty has more troops than that lmao please. When they counter-attacked at the left flank, 16k troops broke through 2 points and I couldn't even juke them out with some coordinated F and arty. On the right it was even worse these fat stacks just went through the poor AI units like it didn't matter.
So what is it, did I not destroy enough of their troops in the battles proceeding? Am I too beefy? I tried some variation and at one point predicted enemy force went up to 89k and at that point I tapped out and started a non legendary campaign. is not exceeding 1k troop per brigade the meta or smth?
