been playing the PC version allot. The naval aspect of this game is really f...ed up. might as well not be in the game. French have zero chance to win a naval battle. The ground game is interesting..........they may have a game here. Very difficult to win as Nappy. |

Found at: Looks interesting. French navy really wasnt trained well for naval battles. Being blockaded did not allow their naval commanders much practice in sailing. Literally the British could count on a win almost every time. Its why Napoleon dreaded his navy and eventually used a lot of the men for land assignments. |

Game balance issues aside, the best explanation of the Napoleonic Navy that I have read was in the book Wars of the French Revolution, that I read a few years back. The author says that basically the entire trained French navy suffered heavy losses and then, with the blockade, the merchant marine was nearly non-existent, and therefore the French navy after 1805 (at the latest) simply lacked trained, experienced sailors. Harbor practice was no replacement for years of high seas experience.... |
