Okay, guys! Everybody here seems to like M2TW, so I decided to make a series of blogs covering my game as Scotland, my personal favorite faction. I’m playing on H/H and a short campaign. Hope you guys enjoy following the conquest of Europe with me!





















I’ve already pushed into Dublin, and beat the British to conquering York. I’m keeping a hefty garrison at York in case the British try anything, but most of my forces are in Dublin. The plan is to sweep acrossed the water from Dublin to Caevnarvon, giving me a flanking position to The British. That way, I can take them on two fronts, like so:

<p class="MsoNormal">Meanwhile, while I work on securing the British isle, I have to think about future conquests. My long term plan is to avoid war with France (in my experience France and Scotland never stack up well) and perhaps even forge an alliance to take care of The British. Therefore, I have to look elsewhere for conquests. I have decided that this game, instead of invading the Holy Lands like I normally do, I’m going to try something different: war with Denmark, and taking The North. I’ve sent a spy to look at which rebel settlements will take the most forces to destroy.

<p class="MsoNormal">But my attention is called back to the homeland, as there is a suspicious movement of British forces near the border. I suspect they might be preparing to take Caevnarvon.

<p class="MsoNormal">War has come far more quickly then I wanted it to! I haven’t even had time to contact the French yet, however I left Prince Edward single for just such a moment as this, and my diplomat in France happens to run into a French princess!

<p class="MsoNormal">Haha! A new ally in the battle against England! And she married my prince for map information… what does that tell you about the French economy? xD

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">But no time to worry about alliances with France now! Caevnarvon is still under siege, and The English have finally decided to make their assault! My forces are terribly outnumbered as well.

<p class="MsoNormal">That was only the first half of the two English armies, however. The second army besieges Caevnarvon, but this gives me enough time to send reinforcements from York!

<p class="MsoNormal">English cowards! They retreated from the siege when my forces arrived, and with no movement points to pursue, I decided to consolidate my forces in the city.

<p class="MsoNormal">The next turn I defeated the English army. With all apparent English forces defeated, I decide to make a risky move, and march my depleted army to take Nottingham and London. Splitting into two separate forces, this is a dangerous game… if any English reinforcements come over from acrossed the channel, my armies don’t stand a chance.
