i dont doubt it for a minute. keep up the good work!

Anyway, back to my battle guide. So how do you guys usually order advances? Click on an area, 'all out attack' etc? Do you line up first, then attack?

Would really love to see a short video of some of you playing HITS attacking, with some sort of narrative.

Anyway, back to my battle guide. So how do you guys usually order advances? Click on an area, 'all out attack' etc? Do you line up first, then attack?

Lets say I have a division that is marching on a road. The enemy has been spotted on the road about 800 yards ahead. I select one of my brigades, click on an area near the enemy, hit the double line formation, then hit the all out attack button. That is if the brigade commander is un-TC'd. If he is TC'd, then orders don't matter and you will be directing the regiments.

So to answer your question, yes you'll always want your troops to be ordered into a formation when selecting an area to attack.

In division level or higher, what I like to do is concentrate on one or two brigades that I will be personally directing and I will TC them. Then I have 1 or 2 that are un-TC'd and will either be held in reserve, or ordered to attack the flank of the enemy. Usually they will perform well on their own un-TC'd and it's neat to check on them ever so often to see how they are holding up.
