American Revolution Massive Battles

Hey, what's up guys? This is Oakley, and we're starting a battle and as you can see the shots are already firing So this was the no rules battle, and you know what that means people are gonna be using Artillery so the opponents actually on both side in fact. We're fielding these Let's see if we can track them down on our side We were using a range of mortars and various other units I can fire Definitely a long range so it looks like we're getting off some decent shots and the opponents yep 4-inch mortar batteries on this side So you'll see those arcing across the battlefield in any case it's gonna be a 3v3 battle And you'll see quite clearly the theme we're going for here. This is gonna be the American Revolution, so it's gonna be the United States colonies over on this side versus Great Britain deploying on what seems to be the high ground advantage So going into this battle. I knew I absolutely knew that people were gonna spam artillery But what I also knew is that artillery such as these mortars are pretty good Just because they can fight at a distance, but that's basically their only advantage in terms of damage and accuracy there They're pretty low and cost efficient efficiency. I would say they're not very great. Well. Let's take a look at this They also have some of these rocket batteries, so if nothing else you know we do get some nice cinematics But as I was saying These artillery units are not gonna be good and so what I'd rather do is spend that money on infantry So my force is essentially all infantry the only Exclusion to that are these two light dragon units that I kept just to be able to do some mobile strikes on either skirmishers or his Own cavalry so that's gonna be the advantage that I'm bringing to the field and you'll see the great dividends gonna pay It was I'm keeping my elite units back here so Blackwatch Kings Royal Regiment and then 33rd foot back here, and then my line infantry of three reserves So I'm actually gonna start deploying, but the bulk of my forces are gonna be up here So three line infantry here two here two more here all moving up to the crest of the hill Supported by three of these Ranger units moving up My how I seem to be thinking that both teams think they're gonna be on the defensive So that's what you get with some of these new players is they really do enjoy sitting back and waiting So I'm not sure how this battle would have gone if I wasn't here. They probably would have sat back and exchanged Artillery fire until well they don't run out of ammo, so it would have been a long battle anyways Yeah, you can see them sitting back here on both sides, but I'm urging my forces forward That's what we're gonna be doing bringing the fight to the rebel scum And it looks like we actually do have some howitzers, so we're gonna bring these into closer comment anyways My guys are actually charging forward super super quickly so in here sort of column formation kept them moving up We do have the rain, so that's gonna sort of have some debuffs to our firing rain and a firing range I believe an accuracy You can see some of these pioneer Raiders are gonna be moving up. These are gonna be the calorie coming into the forest He is gonna try and do some initial attacks on my forces All I'm gonna do is tell my one infantry unit right here to square up as he charges in however He did deploy some his long riflemen up here the disadvantage for him is he did not position them very well You can see right here they're shooting into the forest the rare shot that is able to clear this hill is gonna go right into the Forest anyways these guys are formed up in square to ward off these pioneer Raiders of course He doesn't see that because I'm in the forest, and I'm gonna be charging in with my infantry as support So those are gonna be militia units So go ahead and try and watch some of this calvary charge in the dark into the forest So it looks like he does bypass those troops And he's gonna go ahead and charge right into my infantry here these last units are gonna Go and form up into square the rest of my forces are gonna be pushing up forcing his guys off the hill It looks like we are getting some friendly artillery support on This position because clearing this Ridge is gonna be allowing us to secure this front push down on the opponents His pioneers here really doing no damage Square here actually I lost I lost 20 men already So I'm not sure that was from the Calvary strike probably a couple of them But the majority are gonna be from his long rifle then So I guys are me pulling back because he has more of those American units in the distance Anyways his guys are gonna be losing a lot of men my own square is gonna be here However what I did not anticipate is more of these guys moving up so light your guns gonna be charging forward right into my melee Troops although Rangers are gonna be positioned back here. They're gonna be getting some shots off And my melee yeah, my mission militia guys are gonna be enough to hold his guys back allow me to get some point-blank shots Into his cavalry a couple of them are gonna drop however I'm bringing in more of my infantry and my lighter goons right there And these guys are gonna be reforming to fire into the flanks of his guys Over on this position he went through with his cavalry and here my line infantry apologies for the rain as well I didn't choose this battle, but yeah, it kind of reduces our visibility, but it makes it a little more epic So we're gonna be position ourselves to get some shots off on the hill my line infantry are gonna be forming up and again support of the mortar batteries Here my later goons and all these various forces combining fire to essentially yeah flat-out route I think they didn't even route. They were just all killed, but yeah That's why I brought these light your goons for instances like that So I'm gonna pull them back just because I don't want to take that mortar fire Then we forming up these guys here to ward off any additional reinforcements And it looks like the Americans are gonna be saying the majority of their forces up here However, probably he has with these light infantry is okay. Yeah, they're pretty good at long distance But not when I close the distance like this They don't have quite the firepower that they would want and so I'm able to get just superior fire on his men He does have line infantry, but they're only just forming up I have more guys Pulling in the woods right here and my light your goons are gonna go ahead and charge right into this unit right here of line Infantry I wanted to clear away from my own forces here And what you'll see me do is actually once I had clipped babies basically like 10 or so of his units here I did loose, you know half my regiment or the main advantage I'm gonna get is charging through to his pioneer militia Charging through to his long riflemen and then disrupting this formation Which is gonna allow me to push up here and now here is the core of my infantry moving up with my Ferguson rifleman They have greater range and also more of my line infantry So I'm trying to help with this push My cavalry is forming up and doing all sorts of disruption here and that's gonna open up his forces for a charge from the rear He doesn't quite anticipate this and has no way of really countering it It's gonna force these guys to charge forward and meet with the bayonet Exactly the last thing they wanted to do. So that was a pretty good cavalry charge Although it was it did kind of result in the decimation of my own units it's a risk I'm willing to take and Now we're gonna get some shots off with my infantry in this position as they form up perfect shot against his long rifleman And I'm gonna be deploying with my own Ferguson rifleman up here to support the fight and hopefully teal with these long riflemen But yeah, here we go getting off some good shots against his pretty experienced long rifleman I'm engaging with my lighter or my more diminished depleted infantry units to tie down his own and then I'm swarming in with the rest of my units Over here. My Rangers are getting off some decent shots against his line infantry, but they're in the woods So it's gonna take a while to get those guys out and look what they're doing here Puckle guns are being deployed on this front. So this is something I have to be very wary of these are essentially the This periods machine guns you'll see when they deploy and this is gonna be a very effective against me especially with these long riflemen backing me up so you can see our allies are firing all their borders to try and take out these troops and Now we're gonna be positioning more of our green jackets to help even up this fight I'm gonna have to pull these guys back. Let's go ahead and watch these puckle guns Just unleashing. I'm not sure if they're in range. Yeah, there we go So you can see some of those guys getting off their shots and it looks like No, that's interesting how the cannons get loaded like that Anyways, yeah, they're gonna be able to just pour on the fire to my men. So that's why I'm pulling back They're maybe not so good at a distance against light infantry, but against line units and particularly cavalry. They'll chew you up Anyways on this flank, it's kind of the fight of Bunker Hill you could say I'm charging up the up to the front and just engaging these guys eye to eye and Against these pioneer militia British units are actually pretty good at melee So I'll be hopefully cleaning those guys off and I'm positioning these Ferguson riflemen here to deal with his guys and I move these guys up almost a point-blank range right here just to deal shots right into these I Hope there's no cavalry coming probably not because they invested so much in in artillery But anyways, they're gonna be dealing death from point-blank into these units here I do have some more of these pioneer Raiders Calvary are gonna be pushing up to this flank Although they don't really know how to engage and here we go green light dragoons So I kept these are one of my actually my only remaining Calvary units so I deployed knock these guys out allowing my guys to reform and I'm gonna pull them back to the side and He's gonna be counter charging with his own Calvary. However, these are regimental horse. Actually, they're pretty good so I'm gonna be kind of scared for this engagement and pulling back to the crest of the hill and Having my guys in a pretty big blob so that hopefully he can't cut through the entirety of my forces I should have formed up in square. I just didn't have time And he's pushing up with another group of forces right here regiment of horse backed up by long riflemen I was able to basically destroy his units here and they are however deploy more of their guards with the fire support of these guys Looks like the engagement on this front is Seeing the Americans push forward. However, we have seized the the force right there and now look at this We have our well, maybe not so effective. But at least we have some of the howitzers. I believe in the back Yeah, all firing on these American forces right here. So this approach is not gonna be very fruitful So I guess that's what you get General's bodyguard leading the charge here actually scaring off these green jackets So they're having a pretty effective attack through here Detective force is not going as he had planned mostly because he got caught up on I believe his own forces here. I know they decide to charge up the hill and engage with my own guys However, I did eventually get them into square. So that's gonna be warding off his cavalry here These guys are gonna pick them off Over on this flank now that I have the hill advantage I can shoot over my own men Multiple lines of fire against his troops. However, he does have a lot of these minute men and long riflemen So I don't want to have too many guys up here Considering he can fall back to the forest and he does have artillery support with these mortars And they actually do have a ton of these guys howitzers as well. So a ton of guys Oh, let's go ahead and watch some of these Batteries firing here. So our cavalry that were in the force here are gonna be pushing up They're gonna try and gauge with his artillery, I believe or try and support the fight here But our own massive batteries on this front are just gonna be absolutely wrecking this approach of the infantry And yeah, you can see we still have additional guys back here Myself I'm gonna be pulling in the reserves to help push back that front and the puckle gun is still holding down this flank I'm pulling back to the safety of the woods. However, what you'll see is me Coming in with them some cavalry a little later to even that up over here. I have as I said the multiple lines of fire Especially with these Ferguson riflemen these guys have really good accuracy and range so I'll be able to deal Basically toe-to-toe with his own forces. He's moving up with his minute men, but that's fine I have line infantry who can do a good amount of damage. However, he's moving up a lot Basically the remainder of his force here So I'm gonna pull back Allow my Ferguson riflemen to do do what they do best and I'm gonna retreat to the top of this hill pretty soon Here we go with my light your guns. They're gonna help even up this fight So that's what I'm bringing them in to do and then I'm hoping to sweep down through here and knock out his buckle guns and Various other forces. Here we go charging into his long riflemen That's the ideal target for them and it looks like we're still having our mortars and rocket troops Trying to attack these buckle guns, they don't have too much damage to them. Although that that one lime shot was pretty good Dead on but what I would say is they should probably target some of the infantry. Those are better Targets for them. Anyways, the Americans are moving up with more buckle guns not super effective But they do a pretty good amount of damage for suppressing fire. I guess you could say But yeah, my own cavalry landed that strike along riflemen soften them up then I retreated You're gonna be more line infantry who haven't been really committed So they're gonna be pulling up to the hill where I've essentially lost my men over here I'm gonna be pulling back to the forest and moving my line infantry for double lines of fire against those guys These troops are gonna move up to the hill Hopefully soon to help support that fire and then my own light your guns are gonna be as I said before pulling down this hill in the near future Firing point-blank into the forest forcing those guys back line infantry are gonna get chewed out just because we have More line infantry coming in but it's a noble charge from the Americans Oh, it actually looks like they were able to crush this flank through here But that's what I'm gonna deploy my reinforcements the yet uncommitted Black watch and 33rd foot coming in here. Rangers are now going to be deploying to take out those guys Let's go ahead and watch some of the volleys Up on the hill. They were not expecting my black watch units here at all So let's watch these guys get some shots off so platoon fire Taking its effect all the way down the line. So against his guards right here. Yeah, they have a pretty good place down in the woods However, they're gonna be targeting my Rangers over here. I'm just me getting all sorts of fire on them So yeah, they're getting picked off pretty well. I have the superiority in positioning. Yep. Okay, they killed one guy But they are pressing the advantage here at least that's that's what can be said But look they're falling back on our entrenched line right here with the pikes and it looks like they did lose Calvary to a Calvary charge right through here. Probably not the best move But the Americans should should at least be given credit for this honorable charge up the battlefield especially in the face of all these Artillery units that basically destroy them Lifeguard and additional British cab are gonna come in here probably intercept this general Let's go ahead and watch my side of the battlefield as well So my line infantry that you saw up here basically got thrashed I Remind they did soak up a good amount of the the fire my Ferguson riflemen are gonna be left to finish up this fight I'm finishing off his men, but over here is a problem where he is a lot of these light infantry and long riflemen combined fire They'll do a lot of damage to me. That's why I'm gonna be having my cavalry ready for a charge Oh actually looks like I did it So push through here with my Rangers charge right into his light infantry and I'm gonna go for these The buckle gun, I believe anyways Well, it looks like we're getting finally some good shots off with our artillery right there straight into these buckle guns So it'll be just a matter of luck before one of those is gonna come flying through here I'd imagine but those guys are yep. There you go. They're gonna be eliminated soon I said to counter charge into his general just eliminate this guy and I'm gonna get some more shots off in there So I'm trying to collapse this front quickly. And then these guys are gonna be sent back to Actually, I'd Okay. Yeah, I'm pulling them through here I don't want to get too many shots from his long riflemen So they're gonna be moving through here hoping to help out take out his buckle guns And here go deploying my line infantry They can shoot as I said over their heads because I have the hill advantage This flank is gonna be pulling back. He was just coming in just more infantry out of the woodwork That's the advantage of the Americans that have a lot of these crazy cheap militia infantry in the lake However, when it comes down to a charge like this, I should have the advantage. So here we go right into his men I have 83 men. He's 95 so we'll see how that fight goes. But at least it does tie down his men. I have more supporting fire my Where'd my cavalry go? Oh I think they may have died Either that or I pulled him back. Oh No, I pulled him back. Okay. Thank God. Here we go. Here are my elite troops York Blackwatch and 32nd foot or okay, they're 33rd foot is deployed down here These guys are gonna come and help even up this fight Basically what I'm gonna be doing is an all-out charge down the hill at this point on so it's gonna be pretty epic And it's gonna be led by these guys once they get into the fight and especially my light dragoons are gonna help even up that fight as well The Americans are gonna be pulling back. He realizes what's going on on his front so you can see more her reinforcements Just streaming in and up their constant fire of artillery is doing a lot. However, these 24-pound guys Probably the worst deployment you could do there. They're just shooting through the forest through a hill almost they're getting no shots off so they're a bit too hasty with the deployment of their artillery, but Yeah, they're crushing my guys to charge up through the front all they're gonna be counter charging up sort of this valley You could call it. I'm getting ready for an all-out assault. Let's go ahead and watch the American push through the center So they tried to attack this line, however, yeah this line infantry formation with the backing of All these artillery troops and he still has light dragoons in case they broke there So that's gonna be the end of the American charge through here We completely crushed this front. So oh my That's scary, but it does no damage Anyways, we're gonna be reforming this front and we're gonna be pushing up through this valley taking out those guys back here It looks like actually the cavalry that the British had hidden on this front Attacking his rockets. That's gonna be the end of those and then they're gonna be able to push through here And it looks like they already have done that with the heavy cavalry just breaking through the American rear lines Causing a panic through the back And over here, you're gonna see my charge down the hill. So it's like the Americans are gonna decide to counter charge up here Maybe they're out of ammo supporting fire from the long riflemen to chip away at my guys I think he's anticipating that I just don't have enough men to hold against this pressure But what he doesn't anticipate is the the awesomeness of the British elite infantry So these guys are me reforming here. I was pretty much out of ammo So I meet counter charging and the presence of my black watch Their morale effects and also their suppressing fire is just gonna crack these forces here So it's gonna allow me to hold this valley over on this front. I'm Holding them back with just one Unit of line infantry, although I'm losing a lot of men quickly Line infantry here gonna be continuing to fire and then I'm pushing up this flank with my 33rd foot again an elite unit and then My militia to tank the fire But yeah, it's only a matter of time My green jackets are also gonna be redeploying but like I was saying it's only a matter of time these forces are finishing off the Americans here and It's gonna allow us to retarget our artillery to this front And then also the cavalry are gonna be finishing off the well, I guess they left some line and late infantry here But yeah, they're gonna be finishing off those forces and coming in to finish our encircling pincer movement and Here you can see the Americans are becoming a little bit desperate The militia have been brought into the fight However, these guys are not sturdy and even their rates of fire is not gonna be good Especially with him firing into the backs of his men I'm gonna charge in with the black watch. This is a very good attack and defense stats So that's gonna be enough to crush through these very tired United States troops and my own black watch Yeah, they're tired, but they're they're pretty late and I think I do have some Okay. Well, I guess they're all tired, but I was hoping they were better Anyways, the general is gonna come in for a noble charge in through here We're just gonna go ahead and I believe square up this point. Yep So he decides to cancel that attack, maybe not the best move because he's gonna get shot regardless But I'm gonna continue with this all-out attack Even sending in my Ferguson riflemen into here. They're not really firing these guys back here. They're out of ammo His general is positioned here. So I'm kind of like, okay I'll take it. So I reposition these guys. They're gonna go back into line and they're gonna shoot as general right here The Americans are starting to crumble. It's kind of like that scene in the Patriot where the American forces are gonna retreat However, they don't have Mel Gibson to rally them. So here we go I mean you're forcing them to retreat and it's gonna be an all-out charge down the hill. I don't care I'm just gonna be fixed bayonets push on all fronts Continue to move forward with my 33rd foot and you can see the Americans are Panicking at the site. So he's gonna try and reform and he doesn't have much further to fall back. Basically. This is it This is his artillery line and his own stakes So that's all he can fall back on the pressure is on at this point I'm pouring in all my infantry and you can see the militia They're not gonna hold together very well 90 that's gonna start plummeting 88 87 so they're gonna keep collapsing and with the nearby His friendly units routing. Yeah, they're gonna collapse pretty soon So that's gonna be excellent for me pushing up on this front. Just as I said committing all my guys more of these alleged elite troops Kings were a regiment of New York pouring in So that's gonna be keeping the pressure on you can see just as I said cracking And I think it has something to do with the additional artillery support that we're getting in through here so looks like this is gonna be the Terrible collapse of the Continental Army at this point They are trying to get some lash their last death throws against these guys shooting in all directions with these mortars. However, we do have the British cavalry coming in through here actually, those mortars are doing a decent amount of damage against these forces and Yep, looks like they want to just all-out kill these cavalry before they deal with my infantry Maybe not the best move, but I guess against Rangers. He should probably turn and fight That's gonna allow my guys to just come in theory through here Clean up these mortar batteries finally, so we'll watch some of these pretty cool kills right here Should be stabbing these guys to death. Hopefully soon if they don't oh, there you go. This captain nice. I guarantee he's gonna die No, no, looks like he's gonna choose the coward his way I was hoping the the Bannerman was gonna knock him out But that looks like he's gonna get away. But as for the rest of the American forces, yeah Same can't really be said there. Uh, they're losing So if you guys enjoy this battle, very very cool Very epic disappointed about the rain, but the battle itself came out very very cool And yeah, I was kind of disappointed that it came down to the artillery. But oh, well, it's pretty cool Wow, some of my allies this is probably the the guy in the center 65 losses for 338 killed but you can see yeah these guys got no kills just because they were fixated on bringing the artillery and my infantry advantage definitely I did a lot and I lost a lot of men, but I killed a ton and Let's take a look at some of the kills for my men 150 182 for 89 for Ferguson rifleman. Let your guns did Okay. Anyways, hope you guys enjoyed see you next time. I'll definitely be bringing more Empire battles These are these are totally fun. So let me know what kind of theme battles you like see in the future. See you next time
