Edwin P. Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 Will it take 4 units (N,S,E,W) or 8 (N,S,W,E plus the corners) units to surround a unit in a city and prevent it from being reinforced to a strength of 8 or moving? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ev Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 Good question... And what about surrounding a unit with 4 units in the diagonals (NE, SE, NW, SW)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Krupp Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 depends on where it is-if it has its back to a see tile then it'd be less than if it were out in the open....I believe its more than 4 at least when out in the open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blashy Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 8 would be great IMHO. More tactics involved in troop movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exel Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 It doesn't take 8 armies to siege a city... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 appears to be 8 to cut off supply! look the the pre-release images. NICE what date you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 Hmmmm really good point I didn't even think about that with the new system. 8 is too many IMO, 8 corps to surrond just 1? Gonna make laying traps and battles like Stalingrad much harder to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arngrim Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 8 Is way too many, a unit that's surrounded, cut off from supply facing 8:1 odds would probably surrender outright! With hexes though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
