It's important to TC regiments before giving the fallback command. Un-TC'd regiments will retreat when they back out of range, TC'd regiments will not.

TC'd regiments are risky business. If you get otherwise occupied, which generally happens, and forget to TC off that regiment, they will be easy kill fodder because they can't defend themselves well TC'd.

I agree, but if you're falling back from a firefight, you'd best TC them boys or they'll retreat when they get out of range -- EVERY TIME. Yet TC'd regiments will not retreat when they back out of range.

When placing a formation prior to engagement... what determines where the regiments appear in a formation?

Is it simply a cardinal point and distance decision to fill the positions (flank, front, rear)? Like 'whoever can get there firstest with the mostest?' ( I suspect that this is the case, no? )

Haven't tested it, thought one of you experts would know this offhand. This is simply looking at how to put 'best foot forward' (experienced, rather than conscripts) at the front for first contact.

Thanks in advance for reading and insights.
