Mission 1: Battle for the hill | Imperial Campaign: Act I

This mission is very easy - we have to capture and secure a hill, from which our cannons will be able to bombard the enemy. First we must deploy our troops. There are not many of them, so it shouldn't be hard. I placed them as below - swordsmen with hero shield handgunners.

Deployment of our troops

We should march north in this order, to the hill, where we will oppose one regiment of marauders. After short fight, we continue our trip until we face two units of marauders (one of them includes axe-throwers) defending a tower. Left handgunners' squad should start firing at throwers and the rest of our forces should attack melee ones. After short arguing we should choose one of shooting regiments and place it in the tower. The rest of our troops should go down from the hill and support battle mage fighting enemies. If we are fast enough, mage will survive and he will join our forces.

Remains of enemy's troops flee from the battlefield

Only thing we have to do now is to kill the rest of foe's units and destroy their tower at the bottom of the hill. Then we must wait for cannons to reach the top and that's all - first mission is won. Meanwhile my brave Stefan and the wizard have both achieved second level. I chose Tenacity skill from command tree for first one and Fireball from combat tree for second one.

After short movie we are placed on strategic map, when we get halberdiers regiment. South from our position there is a camp, where we can heal our troops, buy sergeants, musicians and bannerbearers. I also bought some new magic items and better weapons and armours for my units.
