Soon I will play my brother's French (94) vs my
Brits (97)
The game will be 40 min treaty
He choose the large great plains as the amp.
He uses mostly cuirs and art. Very little infantry
What should my army make up be.
I choose the next map, what would be the best map against his French
Thanks

I would say have like 4 falcs (20 pop) 60 musks (60 pop) and 20 goons (40) pop.
Do not, ever, ever think that pure redcoats will beat FU gendarmes. It will be ugly, especially if he likes artillery.
The better of a player your bro is the more goons you will need. Good luck!

Thanks for the help. Just a few questions.
I have been using horse art. are the falconet better?
I hate to ask this but what are "goons"?
I am guessing they are mercenaries from the saloon. If so
which one would be best? I am thinking the highlanders
A quick question about the must. Am I correct in thinking that when they fight in hand to hand that they automatically go into melee/hand attack mode. If that is true, why is there a melee button under command panel?
I am 53 yrs young, perhaps the oldest guy on this board.
That is fine as this game is great!!
Thanks again

French have trouble with Ottomans, Dutch in late game, Germans, and a better French player. Wouldn't suggest going ports unless you are really good with them.

I am still new at this game, love it.
But which one among Ottoman, Dutch or German would be easier to command against French. My brother is good and would love beating his tail.
Thanks

Oh sorry I forgot about 40min treaty. Germans then, or Dutch if you know how to play with them.
Make sure you make war wagons and/or dopplesoldners with Germans and Ruyters with Dutch

Godofsquishy are you saying the Germans are better than the Dutch in beating the French on land map?
And that the Dutch are easy to th o command but not as good as the German?
If so what would be the HC deck you would use for 40 min treaty?
If you don't mind what would the HC deck look like with the Dutch?
thanks!!!!
