Well, I replayed Cortes with the Aztecs using the "Northern smash" plan which involves massing most of the better elements of the Aztec Army and launching an all-out attack against the Northern force. True to expectations, the Spanish got severely mauled before the Spanish fleet could make it over to the that side of the lake and provide fire support. But it was a close-run thing.
I also detached a sizeable force of weak units to sit in the lake and delay the Southeastern Spanish force- with the fleet massed in the North to help save the Northern force, the Spanish were without naval support and Aztec bombardment managed to rack up some serious casualties (even with having to roll a "one" to inflict a step loss).
The end result was still a decisive victory for the Spaniards but it was a bit more bloody (although no Spanish units were lost). There's definately a method to this game for the Aztecs but it's not revealing itself that well... :grin:
