Step:1 Class Selection

The very best class as a fighting force is the Foot Guard. Boasting a higher proficiency with the bayonet [More Damage].

The other support classes are all very important as well. Quick notes bellow on their importance

Artillery- Creating breaches on maps that have no siege ladders or breakable gates. Going for major kills using explosive shells.

Engineers- Creating their own enterances and destroying enemy fortifications.

Flag Bearers- Marking locations for the artillery to aim at, providing a rally point for respawning troops and generally taunting the enemy.

Step 2: Creating The Breach

The most common type of breach on the majority of maps are ladders. These ladders are death traps, whilst on the laddder you are EXTREMELY vulnerable. There is no real trick to climbing the ladder, however, I have one piece of advice for you: DO NOT STOP. Stopping blocks your allies and also makes you an easier target. To prevent stoppage do not reload and do not take too long in taking your shot.

Siege Towers: Did I get your hopes up? There are no siege towers in NW Sieges but one can dream.

Gates: These are the simplest breaches in the game and are easy for any attacker. Make sure that you can break these down ASAP and then flood through, nothing tricky at all. Only advice again is to let sappers to the front first as their axes take fewer swings to break down a door than your musket can.

Artillery Breaches: These are maps are the ones with no prepared enterances. These are not the worst maps to be attacking on as you have the choice of where you want to enter from. The most important tip here is to not go and become a wall hugger. Just wait for a full breach and advance as one.

Step 3: CHARGE!!!

This is the final and most important step so take heed.

A few facts:

Attackers have unlimited lives

Attackers have a shorter respawn time

Attackers have time to rally and advance as a group

With that said the only way to win siege battles is to kill all enemies around the flag and wait for it to fall. The absolute best way in acheiving htis is to charge and enegage in a melee battle. The reasoning behind this is that a bayonet can kill many more than a musket can in the same time. Melee is a scary thing to any attacker but it must be overcome to suceed.

Tips to Melee Fighting:

The bayonet is the prefered weapon for group-fighting

Help each other out for easy kills

Don't worry you have unlimited lives, the defenders do not
