- Tactics skill in Heroes 3.

We are playing in quick battle mode. Why should the results be different with a different initial order of armies?

Yes, this is a difficult case... :smile35: But I will still try to answer.
And you try to fight in normal mode (in my opinion, quick battles are for lazy people; as they say: if you don't like it, don't eat it), then you will see everything with your own eyes! For example, I am not surprised that one random incorrect move (mouse click) can fatally affect the outcome of the battle. And tactics give much more!
I am fulfilling my promise: I uploaded a save file (see my post on page 11: /post/341920/. Practice! To all – heroic victories and achievements!

P.S. "I was killed outright..." is a line from a humorous song performed by Irina Allegrova called "Sudary" (http://lyrika.nm.ru/Allegrova/Sudarj.htm). My gender remains male. :)
