Saving Turin | Generalissmus Campaign Cossacks 3 Guide
Last update: 17 October 2016
This time, a large battle awaits you. If it plays out badly, it will end in a total disaster. The enemy is numerous, and has very good positions. He has a lot of artillery, cavalry that is ready to respond, and receives constant reinforcement from the bridges (red arrows). To block them, you need to place your troops by the bridges used for reinforcing. You'll win when you destroy most of the enemy forces. Remember that you need to send a runner to the commanders of the individual armies in order for them to attack. When the attack is successful, you take direct control over all units from the chosen group. Venice will join in a certain moment of the battle, but its help won't be substantial.
Through commander dialogues, the game suggests that you should send forces through the upper river (1). You'll manage to ambush your enemy this way. Nevertheless, this idea is not so good in the long run, as when you begin to move on the infantry's rear, the cavalry will attack you, with additional enemy reinforcements converging on your position. Instead, you should attack the southern castle (2) with an ally, take over the bridge, and prepare for an attack on middle positions.
Send your drummers first to increase your range of vision. Place your units symmetrically to the units in the south. Next, send a runner to the commander to give him the attack order. You should place one runner near every commander, so they will take less time bringing the message. Now proceed with the infantry from both armies in one line, while your cavalry should stay behind the main line.
Here comes the tricky part. Don't forget to watch the movements of your ally (white arrows), but break the first lines of the enemy yourself, and attack the outpost. Now you can send your cavalry to take over enemy guns. Destroy the buildings and place one unit by the bridge. Only then help your ally. When you destroy most of the defenders, the allied forces will be under your control. Reorganize the line and give the middle army the signal to strike.
When the middle army is almost at their positions, send your forces to help them. When you destroy most of the enemy forces, these units will also join your army. Now, send a message to the last commander. Create a defense line using infantry against the cavalry and approaching enemy reinforcements. Use your cavalry to create a support group for your defense line. All is left to do is destroying the remaining forces, but with the amount of units you have, it shouldn't be a problem.
