Strategies

There are a couple ways to use the Union/ Confederacy.

If I am referring to both I will just call them NA troops

Union: A number based flexible faction that requires medium skill.

CSA: A very aggressive faction that is someway a cheaper more numerous Prussia with worse arty. It requires high skill level strategies/builds: Most NA troops are much weaker and cannot compete against European line infantry in a shoot out. Tam są 2 main strategies that work.

– 1st Strategy: A very aggressive strategy with breach loaders mainly that use their number advantage to soak up bullets and dish out twice the pain with breach loaders. Using the Gatling guns in this build is a must as they can be a very aggressive “glass cannon” that can in 1 tile range dish out 8 damage per turn (front hit). You will need at least 1 cavalry unit to kill any units that can dish out a lot of damage. I would recommend bringing Iron Brigade/Stonewall as they can actually stand up/beat European line. This is a better strategy in my opinion, but you must be more skilled in assault, flanking enemies, and conservation somewhat as loosing units without any real gain can loose you the game.. wait that’s for every faction. This works better with the CSA, but still works good with Union.

– 2nd Strategy: A more flexible build that is technically historically accurate too. You equip your men with rifled muskets, and breech loaders for the Tigers and Irish. I recommend bringing some of the better troops like stonewall brigade, Iron Brigade, US sharps, and Whitworth sharps. You should bring Gatling guns and maybe howitzers. Bring at least 1 cav so you do not get flanked, or can harass the enemy. Your advantage will still be to overwhelm them with numbers, but with more ranged attacks. Your main strength will be switching out units for your reserve, Stacking ranged damage, and forcing the enemy to assault with your arty or cav. This build requires just a little less skill than the 1st strategy. You need to learn how to switch out units, use reserves to counter enemy assaults, how to assault with range, and use cavalry as a thorn in the side of the enemy to either pull off their cav or their inf. This build works good with the Union. The CSA doesn’t really work with this.

– a Meme strat that can sorta work if you wanna have fun. All light cav with carbines usually US regulars and 1 Custers / bushwackers or CSA Regulars and 1 Hamptons. 1 Gatling gun to beat any infantry that dares assault your cav. And just flank AND SPANK.. and also shoot.

Streszczenie

Mainly USE YOUR NUMBERS, z 1.1 update it made US troops cheaper so you can have more, but increased the CSA cost I think.

Now this is all just from what I have scene worked in the past month (I had early access thats how), but uh give it a shot these are both I would rank intermediate factions, You can start with them, but I would recommend not start with france first. Also use other units than just Stonewall and Volunteers, Zooaaaahhhhvs and other cool units are there too use them.

Go watch I’m Literally A Turkey’s video on how to play I highly recommend it.CSA: Be aggressive be be agg- wait no uh… Be aggressive use the 1st strat more, but you can still have a mix of some troops with breech loading then some troops with rifled. Your well inspired and motivated hillbilly’s can somehow pull off maneuvers that only highly trained Germans can do, so uh good. You do need to make sure your units don’t die for nothing though as you will have less than USA and maybe some European factions. You can do whatever you want this is just what I see works. Now go spank some boot lickin yanks back to D.C. or whoever your facing.

USA: You can use either strat to your liking, both work great from what I have seen. use your superior hoard of American Loyalist against any nation that stands in your path. You might have a small numerical disadvantage against ottomans and russia, but their troops are generally worst. You have good infantry for the price and you will use it. Again you will need to use tactics that involve using your special troops too as both Iron Brigade and US Sharps have range drill and alot of damage can be dished out in 1 zakręt. You can do whatever just have fun. Now go show those rebs why Uncle Sam needs to be understood, Drive em to Richmond boys! Or like whoever your fighting.

Teraz, go have some fun!
