Battle of Newburry | Roundheads versus Cavaliers Campaign Cossacks 3 Guide
Last update: 17 October 2016
This mission is one big battle. You will receive several teams that defend the lower wing. Your first mission is to clear and seize the hill. Approach a bit and start cannon fire to decimate the defenders. In the meantime, send out a dragoon team into the city for reinforcement. In the forest to the South of the city, you will meet a team of Scotsmen who will join you. After the commander reminds you that the time is running out, start attacking the hill. First, have the infantry approach to the firing distance. Deploy horsemen right after them. They will attack right after heavy cavalry start the their attack. Now, take position on the hill.
Have musketeers take positions near the edge of the hill. Right next to them, deploy your cannons and howitzers. The former have quite a range n the hill. Use this advantage to reduce the numbers of the enemy. Watch out, because there are two approaches. The enemy will deploy several teams of horsemen against you. After you have fought off the first wave of attackers, you will receive several new teams.
Use the majority of your forces to strengthen the defenses of the main line, close to your starting group. As for the upper group, you will do well with the teams that you have received. If you want to, you can reinforce them with a team of pikemen. The attack will start from all sides at the same time, so you will have to switch between two locations.
In the upper location, the enemy will send out a small team of musketeers and a medium-sized team of pikemen, in two places. Still, your riflemen will be unable to deal with them all. The forward team of the allied dragoons will, most probably, move out to face the incoming enemies. Aid them with your riflemen. If necessary, this is why you keep pikemen next to your musketeers - so they can deal with charging infantry. Finally, there will be an attack of cavalry - mainly dragoons.
In the lower part of the front, the enemy will deploy the majority of his forces against your allied armies. Use the units on the hill and the ones in the back to flank the enemy soldiers. When they are tied down with battle, they will not be able to maneuver. When they are surrounded, they will be unlikely to avert the result of the battle. If necessary, send out several teams to the army to the North. The last wave of attack is a mixture of dragoons and mercenaries. Do not let yourself be surprised. As soon as you deal with the majority of the armies, you will complete the mission.
