Quick noob question

Feel free to send a scout to attack a province, place him in the back, and set his orders to retreat. This will give you an exact count.

I always set the 0 command to retreat because every scout should be given this command in case they are discovered on the border.

Just a quick caveat to this tip... A retreating unit with out a neighboring, friendly province to retreat to will automatically be killed. So, this suggestion really only works for border provinces unless you're OK with loosing the scout.

A scout who doesn't retreat from battle WILL get killed in battle, regardless of what he is facing. Even if it is mighty 1 PD from Bandar Log.

Actually 1pd of bandar is better than most 1pds out there, iirc. It's with values past 1pd that they suck.

Can we have a lengthy discussion on that matter if I take offense on your statement and wholeheartedly disagree?

[Gregstrom]

Arg. That was like watching a train crash in slow motion - I just knew it was going to end very very badly, but I couldn't tear my eyes away.

Is this another discussion of Bandar Log pd? Someone get Lord_Bob and we can go to town.
