Hello and welcome to my nineteenth guide. This is going to be a guide on how 
to beat all of the Scenario battles in the game. I decided to write this 
guide for 2 reasons. 1. The total war series is my favorite strategy game of 
all time. 2.there aren't many other places to find help for these battles and I
know from personal experience that the scenerio battles can be hard at times.
 _____________________________________________________________________________

I highly suggest you read this if you are new to the game. 

1. Use all of your units to your advantage. It doesn't matter if you only have 
100 men at the end of the battle, the only thing that matters is that you win 
the battle.

2. Never leave Cavalry in combat for to long. So charge the flanks of the 
enemy soldiers then if they don't mediately route pull your horses out and 
then charge them again. 

3. Always keep your general out of danger. 

4. Cannons are your top priority. Whenever your enemy has these units they will
aim for your general generally 90% of the time.

5. Even though at times the odds seem bad the game will usually give you some
sort of tactical advantage so try to figure this out or continue to read this
guide and I will tell you.

6. You can pause the game and still order your troops. This will let you make
better decisions because you won't be under pressure.

7. Do not chase routing units unless the battle is very close to being over
because in a lot of these battles every single unit needs to be used to the 
best of its ability for you to win.   

8. Always form square formation when you are being attacked by cavalry. Most
of the time this will cause the enemy cavalry to disengage. 

9. During sea battles, never board enemy ships. This will only lead to 
friendly casualties and a heavily damaged ship.

Before I start the guide there are a few things you should know.

1. For the most part the computer is very predictable but the computer is not
guaranteed to do what I say they will do so be prepared to think on your
own.

2. Do not expect to win any of these battles on your first try so stay calm 
and persevere.

3. listen to the computers intro to the battles because they sometimes give you
helpful information. 

4. There is more then one way to beat any one of these battles so my way may 
not be the easiest way of doing it. 

5. If you have a alternate strategy  please don't hesitate to e-mail me at 
[email protected]. (Note: make sure to include rome total war in the 
description.)

---------------------------------Strategies------------------------------------
At the beginning of the battle the camera will pan over a alternative crossing
at the far left of the map. If you attempt to the cross at the main crossing 
the continental cannons will shred your infantry resulting in mass casualties.
Rather then that, you need to take you entire army and march them over to the 
other river crossing. There is a unit of Long Rifle Men in the forest to 
the right of the crossing on the other side. If there is no stakes in the 
forest then you should sent your Cavalry over the river to dispatch of them. 

Move the rest of your army of the river and from them up in one line. At this
point all of the soldiers that where guarding the rivers will move to the 
town at the end of the map. Further down from the river crossing another 
Long Rifle Man will come out of the forest. Send your cavalry to finsh them
off as well. If they do set up stakes then your line infantry can take of 
them just the same, but with a few more loses. 

The Continental army will form a line in the middle of the town. Along with
this 2 units of Minutemen will possibly come out of the forest to the right
of the town. Unlimber your cannons a good distance away from the town and 
have them start baraging the enemy soldiers. Now just form the longest 
line you can in the small road and engage the enemy line. If you can, try to 
move your infantry at a angle aiming at the flanks of the enemy line. This 
will be a really easy battle that your men should be able to finish with 
very few casualties. 

After you route the enemy line and possibly kill George Washington then all 
you need to do is finish off the cannons around the edges of the river. At 
this point you should win the battle with no more then 500 Losses.

---------------------------------Strategies------------------------------------
This is another easy battle. You are heavily outnumbered in terms of infantry
and cavalry, but you do have the superior positioning. The first thing you 
need to do is set all of your cannons to fire canister shot. This is vital to
winning this battle and if you forget to do this you will not win the battle.
You also need to swing you unit of dragoons to the far right flank and dismount
them. Also move the unit of infantry that is behind your main line to the far 
left flank and make them perpendicular to the main line. Now wait for the 
enemy soldiers to come down the hill. The Infantry will come down the hill 
and then move to the right most of the time. Along with this a large group
of cavalry will come down the left side of the mountains and swoop into 
your left flank. Wait until the cavalry is almost at your flank then quickly
form them up into square formation. Reinforce them with all of your cavalry 
except for the dragoons. At this point your cannons should have shredded the
majority of the enemy of the enemy infantry allowing your infantry to finish
them off. 

Once all of the units have come down the hill then you should try to surround
them with your infantry. At this point the enemy cavalry should have routed
and the majority of the enemy infantry should be dead. Have you remaining 
cavalry move in and cahrge the flanks of the remaing infantry. Finally, move
your cavalry up the hill and kill off the soldiers on the cannons.

----------------------------------Strategies-----------------------------------
This is the only battle that poses any real challenge. Your army will be 
divided into 3 parts. I will divide this battle into 3 phases in order to 
minimize confusion. 

Phases One 

This should all be done in the first 30 seconds of the battle. On the left and
middle unlimber the cannons and turn on canister shot. Move all of the units
at the town located to the right to the center of the map where the main army 
is. If they stay they will be destroyed. Also move the one unit in the town
in the middle to the main line of infantry to reinforce them.

Phase Two

For the rest of the battle you can just leave your units on the left to fight
on their own. While the right flank should be running to the center. All
the following actions should be done to the soldiers in the center of 
the map. In the center you should move your cavalry to the flanks of your 
infantry line. Have the soldiers in the town start shooting at the British
flanks. Once the British soldiers start loosing the battle they will lead 
a bayonet charge up the hill. This will be the time to charge the flanks with
your cavalry. At this point the United Provinces's infantry will come into the
center town. Send 2 units of infantry to fight them off. If the units on the
left side have not been routed yet then send some infantry or cavalry to 
support them.  

Phase three 

With the units in the center and right routed now you can focus all of your 
attention on the Austrian Forces to the right. Take all of the infantry and 
form a line with the flank to the center city. Unlimber the remaining cannons
and turn on canister shot. You should heavily outnumber the Austrians and they
should route easily. Send the rest of your cavalry to route the remaining 
cannons.
