Re: how to stop cavalry running

<t>Why is it gamey, Reb? because you use the TC button? You wouldn't need to use it if you could give similar commands to those Buford, Devin and Gamble used - ie reliably getting their horsemen to get off the nags and hold at all costs. But it seems the game won't permit that (there isn't even a 'h...

Re: how to stop cavalry running

Ok. I'll try sending them charging into the Reb flanks. That's what they seem to NEED to do....

Thanks.

Re: how to stop cavalry running

<t>Thanks LP and MTG. I'm happy to micro-manage, MTG, if that's what's required to get them to stay put and keep the Rebs off that ridge. THAT is my goal. I haven't even worked out the scoring yet. To keep the Rebs off the ridge I need my cavalry to line up, get off their horses and act like infantr...

how to stop cavalry running

<t>Can anyone help? Been playing the GB scen with Buford on Seminary Ridge. I place all the regiments where I want them and wait for the rebs to come. I want the lines to hold to the last man. But there seems to be no 'Hold' order for cavalry. Is that right? And they just seem to convert to mounted ...

Re: help

Thanks Jack. What about an Antietam book - one that would bring it alive in much the way that the Shaara does for GB?

Re: help

<t>I just 'discovered' the HITS mode. Wow. Now that is different. Brilliant. Stuck in a (kind of) first person pov, with a map (just like a real comander!!). Love it. It does mean you have to get the mini maps improved though, and I haven't managed that yet, despite guidance.<br/> <br/> Also, still ...

idiot help

<t>This will seem like a stupid question. I can't seem to work out how to order the entire battallion - or is it the brigade (or the division) - I mean ALL the units under my command. Obviously, I can order the commander (me) to go somewhere, and sometimes i seem to be able to click on him and get t...

Re: help

Sorry. Meant regiment, not brigade. Did not regiments have between 200 and 700 men, I meant?
