Summing Up The Battle Of Columbeira In 3D

NOW I know what it feels like to be on the winning side of a virtual walkover.

To claim victory with two rounds to spare is very unusual for Battles Of Napoleonic Europe - certainly in my experience, although in my first playthrough of this battle I won with a turn to spare, which also is not exactly common.

Part of the success was down to my plan of seizing the largest hill as part of a strong right-hook, and was also due to concentrating my troops in as few activation areas as possible, making command-and-control relatively easy.

But I have to concede I had far more than my share of luck when it came to dice throwing, particularly in nearly always being able to activate a large proportion of my troops.

My score after three 3D scenarios is 3-0 in my favour. At the same stage of my first run-through, using the book's maps and counters, I was winning 2-1.
