I will be using Hellblaster Volley Guns once I unlock them, but I won't be using cannons or mortars of any type. I really want to test the limits of normal war wagons, pistolers, and outriders as they normally get overshadowed by better options in my campaigns.

I think if you put those crossbowmen in guard mode they might've actually shot those bats. But honestly bats seem to make most units act really finicky

Isn't it just a bug? Same happened to my crossbowmen when I tried to make em shoot ground units tho, they would just walk into em like it's nothing (yes, they had ammo XD), but they shot flying enemy lord then, cuz couldn't try to melee him

"You may choose, warrior. The path of light, or the path of darkness" "I choose gun." "That is not one of the choi..." [cocks gun] "wait... what are you doing?"

Im pretty sure that if you have guard mode on then free company units will fire their guns while in melee

Even without guard mode, they seem to shoot during melee sometimes. Edit: I will give that a shot though, especially because they don't usually need to chase units down as they simply shoot them as they retreat.

They would shoot in melee mode, but it would also make them die faster due to the low density of troops in melee. Not very ideal to hold the line.

I’m so glad I’m not the only one who’s experienced the ranged unit bug where they just refuse to shoot the enemy you target. I’ve been having the same problem and I just don’t understand why it’s happening 😂

This was a pretty challenging start to be honest, I've never got Volkmar so I had no idea what his abilities and bonus's are but wow there kind of wacky, great first episode though man, I think this one Is gonna be a lot more challenging just because of the limitation to just range ~

That battle where you had to corner camp was freaking awesome! Well done mate

I'm glad someones praising the free company, they're a personal favorite, able to shoot down early game monster, effectively rout fleeing units via their move and shoot, skirmish decently, support each-other in melee ect. Great early game unit

I always love your challenge series. Please continue! I'd love to see a Vampire or OOOOG a Beastmen one!?! Beastmen rock

Loving the series. It's a fresh take and I don't mind that you edit out the turns where nothing happens. Not sure if it's a mistake but your Volkmar battle on turn 17 didn't load. It just goes from clicking on manual fight to the result screen.

The title should have been "Can you beat Warhammer 3 as America"

My man did the guns only campaign 1 year before the empire update/ DLC with the gun mage school being added which adds mm to gunners/ rifles

theres a mod that gves any unit with ranged a hold position button, they wont move for any reason unless they rout or something, give them a target and they wont even shuffle around their own formation

You don’t need to checkerboard with free company (or really any gunpowder units). Just put them in guard mode and the rear ranks will continue firing through the front ranks harmlessly while the front ranks are in melee. It’s something that only works for a few units in the game, but all gunpowder units have this buff.

YES you can . I shoot demon gods by my mercy
