I have a query regarding the first Waterloo battle as the allies. It is designated a Green level difficulty but I am finding it anything but Green ? I've played it dozens of times and have just about given up on completing it basically because the balance doesn't seem right. I will post some screenshots to elaborate my point. The Battle has a 2000 score requirement for the main victory ? Seems a tough ask considering the position and seemingly OP French infantry and their comrades blazing away on both flanks with cannon. So I try and hold the woods for 15 minutes (which is about as long as my Infantry can hold against the french Infantry) and score around about half of the required MV requirement, once the troops have been decimated I retreat to the farmhouse with the remnants of troops and try to hold until the AI reinforcements arrive. In the woods the CP has a value of 100 points per minute which would mean about 1500 points after 15 minutes if no casualties were being suffered, but with the casualties deducted from the score it's about 900-1000 points thus far. That means I need another 1000 points from the farm CP, but that is only 50 points per minute and with only 15 mins remaining and add the steadily rising casualty list, I find it impossible to reach the 2000 MV score. The main thing I'm finding impossible is inflicting enough casualties on the French to either hinder their plans or reduce the deficit for the MV score. Each time I've played it the balance of casualties has been significantly higher for my regts than the French, I can stand 3-4 regts in front of 1 French regt and they are virtually untroubled. I have posted a screenshot of the type of imbalance I'm talking about. I've tried all sorts of tactics, flanking, fire and move, charging the cannons to reduce the casualties, retreating to the farmhouse from the offset (which doesn't work because the timer doesn't activate if you do it too soon) and even then the casualty rate is still soaring when I garrison the farm. I watched for about 2 minutes the casualty rate, with my troops in the shelter of the farm and inflicted not one casualty on the French but my casualties continue to soar. Compare this to say the QB04 battle where the French have many farms to capture and I've watched 4 regts of French get virtually pasted by one regt of defenders and even seen a couple of the attackers flee for their lives with heaps of their comrades strewn the ground ? So I ask myself "Is the Waterloo battle No1 as the Allies right ?" Is it bugged ? Am I doing something wrong ? Has anyone else experienced any of the issues I'm talking about ? Any replies comments or suggestions will be gratefully received. The nearest I've got to the 2000 score is 1500, which was a Victory, my last attempt 1300, another victory but the 2000 just seems out of the question :ohmy: I've had to swerve it now and moved on through the battles and am currently on the Allies No8 battle and haven't experienced any real issues regards scoring since No1, it's just been a matter of tactics, but No1 seems to be my stumbling block ??
:unsure: I hope this doesn't come across as complaining or bitching, it isn't intended to be anything of the sort, but I have heard of bugs in the game, like the GB game where their was a MV score that differed form the promotion score and have seen one of those situations in Waterloo, which caught me by surprise when I thought I'd achieved the promotion mark but only achieved the MV. Anyways as always any replies will be gratefully received 
Honestly though it's just bizarre :whistle:
