By my observations I would say less effective because it takes longer to get the bulk of their troops into the melee. This goes with Rob's observations that the Column by Divisions default formation (closed row intervals) has more "Hit" impact when charging headlong into an enemy line. IOW, this more compact formation delivers more men at once to a targeted (charged at) enemy unit.
This makes the most sense to me. Also, learning that the open order formation moves faster and will take fewer casualties from artillery on the approach is very useful, and makes sense as well. The more dispersed the formation, the less destructive artillery is against it. Gives me a reason to start using the open order formation as well now. As always Reb, you're the man.

A stumbled on a new problem, very technical in nature, maybe you guys can help me: I cannot even select the Eagles Triumph scenario (battle of Ligny), it makes the game crash. I can select and play any of the other scenarios, even the bigger ones (Waterloo and the Battle of Ligny army scenario on the allied side).

Any idea?

If this were a year ago I would have said you were trying to play through the Waterloo battles tab, which made the game crash. But that tab was eliminated from the grog toolbar mod a long time ago.

Now I don't know what could cause that, especially if you're saying all the other scenarios work fine.

Reb is going by to have to chime in on this one.

Are you using any other mods besides the grog toolbar?

I found the problem and it might interest you Reb. It is the french version of the scenario that is bugged. When I switch to english, I can select and play the scenario without any problem.

I loaded the French language version with no issues. Please load the French language version again and after it crashes attach or copy the sowwl.log file here, it's located in the 'Documents/sowwl' folder. Thanks for reporting this.

Hello Reb,

I cant even select it in game. As soon as I click on it, the game crashes, so I dont think it even loads. You still think that the file will be useful?

Yes, it still can tell us something. Since it didn't load anything it'll be short, just copy paste it here.
