A Bugles and Flags v10 Observation

This is where our experts try to teach you the very flexible modding system for our previous release - SOW Gettysburg and its add-ons. It's powerful, but dangerous. Post your tips and your questions.

Only a cheater like me (in SP only) would see this. Since it hasn't been reported yet, I must be in error, but I can't find my error.

I can't get an entire command (brigade/div/corps) to go back to normal walk after double-timing. The double-time button on the commander's tool bar doesn't toggle back to normal walk. I have to turn off double-time for each of the individual regiments. I apologize if this question is imperfectly researched. The same problem is true with infantry, artillery, and cavalry commanders.

Ha, Norb eliminated that cheat of canceling fatigue by alternating run and walk back and forth. Dangit, what is the name for that cheat?...can't remember.

By cheating I meant to use the toolbar and not couriers only.

So that is the official work around for the Mo Shuffle? Too bad, I wasn't using brigade double-time for that reason. Then why allow brigade or division (or even corps-level!?) double-time commands at all, if you can't turn them off?

RebBugler, I do use your modded toolbar because it is much more intuitive for me. I am grateful for your significant contributions to the game.

You can give a different formation command to the brigade commander and the regiments will stop running.

Good point KG, I forgot to mention that, or, you can just give the same formation again. Still, it's a little annoying to have to do such things, when it used to be just a button click. Another thing, if the commander is not TC'd, he'll usually slow them down from a run anyway. Thanks
