Friendly Infantry Life Firing Backwards.

[Jean Lafitte]

QB is great. I started with the Brigade sized battle featuring the Brunswickers.

Seems like when the AI triggers a voluntary Retreat or Fallback, the infantry line ends up facing to the rear instead of about-facing to face front. I saw a line of my infantry remain facing backwards even as an enemy battalion approached and opened fire.

Even after my infantry battalion opened fire on the enemy battalion, my infantry faced backwards while engaged in the firefight!

I took a screenshot but I can't find it on my computer.

This is a bug that happens SOMETIMES. We tried to track it down years ago, to no avail, because it couldn't be replicated manually. It's an AI glitch that happens when a unit falls back and then retreats. Most of the time the unit will turn and engage properly after retreating, but as reported here, sometimes it engages backwards. So, no need for a screenshot.
