[. . . ] Even though forts might seem very strong when you first start to play, eventually forts need extra mobile units in them to be safe, especially extra heavy artillery. Checklist for Taking an Unoccupied Fort. · On your first turn after deployment, move all three units to the edge of the zone that the enemy emplaced gun can hit. Be very careful not to enter the red dot zone with any units on your first move. On your second move, move only your extra (non-artillery) regiment, toward the fort into the red zone. You must move your unit into range of the enemy in the fort before the enemy will perceive it as a threat. Once your unit can harm units in the fort, the enemy shoots him with opportunity fire on your turn, and then on its turn shoots him again. You are using this regiment to draw the enemy fire and it does not matter if it is badly damaged at this point. · Because the enemy has fired on your infantry on its second turn, on your third turn, the enemy emplaced artillery has no opportunity fire. Move the first one as far forward as you can, directly toward the emplaced gun. After you move it, hold your cursor over the emplaced gun and fire it. Then repeat the process with the other units.

You may decide to try to take a fort even when you do not have the exact forces referred to on this table. Since your computer advisor for the most part uses the methods outlined in the chart, it is probably necessary to fight the battle yourself on the tactical battlefield if you attack with a different sort of army. Generally, the most important element of an attack on a fort is a plan. Your plan must deal with the fact that the defenders gain the benefit of opportunity fire and perhaps at least one turn in which their weapons are in range and yours are not. Your advantage against an unoccupied fort is that the defender has no mobility once the battle begins Cavalry or Light Infantry Rush: One method that works well is an attack with a large number of cavalry, or light infantry regiments with firearms.
