Hit and run with musket tactic

Post by bittersalt123 »

Anyone have any tips with not losing the muskets battle when when going on the offensive with this tactic? I always get people captain+ who can hit my muskets and run back and I can't see to get a shot off when attacking.

Tips greatly appreciate :chinese:

Don't stand and fight. Always move and poke. If you stand and fight you have muskets who are dying while reloading. If you are poking you can shoot, run back, then shoot again. Never take a fight in a musket mirror unless you are absolutely confident you can win it. Don't fight near enemy military buildings or shipping points.

Basically you should always pay attention on the fight and use attack move to shoot when your opponent is hit and run a lot.

I don't know if this will help you, but by playing some colleseum scenario, musk vs jan with almost same size, i win with musk by puting more musk in each edge of the jan's square formation, so when your opponent move to one of the edge side you pull that small army back and regroup it to stay in the new edge of the opponent formation.
Basically the opponent will always have to decide each edge to focus his fire while you will always shoot by surround him even with same army size and make sure where he is focusing his fire there is few units there always shooting and going back to force him regroup all the time.
