Taking Command of your Army

Post by franco »

Will you be able to issue blanket commands to your Division, Corps? It takes a lot of time to move all of your units to engage the enemy if you have to issue cmds to each and everyone of your units. From the videos that I have seen this looks to be a great game. I plan on buying it as soon as it is available.

You can issue all of the commands on division level and below. Corps commanders have their advantages as well, but once you see how large the Corps are, you'll see that it would be pretty cumbersome to issue a blanket command to an entire corps.

Can I assume that the highest level commands will be divisional like in TC2M?

See my post above. :)

Division commanders and below can order movement, formation, and order commands. Corps commanders can issue Order commands.

What I'd like to see, is a Corps CO command to ready his command to travel without any units moving. Otherwords, some scenarios start with the corp in a line and unlimbered state, often away from the action. Instead of having to go to each battery and brigade to bring them to a in place limbered or in column. later to be brought forward as needed. Secondly; I'm not too keen with the current Corps column command, especially depending on where the Corps CO is located.

Well isn't that just to bad. Suck it up and do a little work for yourself. If it is like TC2M that is all I want. I have a bud who said some duffuss sent him the beta test and he said it was nothing like TC2M I am not pleased with that at all. I will most deffinately need to see the demo now.

I can't see how he was able to get a beta test since it's being closely guarded by all of us testers. Sounds like that guy is trying to blow smoke up your arse.
War is cruelty. There is no use trying to reform it. The crueler it is, the sooner it will be over.

I think he is full of it too... my friend is a bit of a bull Shiter so he just may be telling an untruth. I have both TC games and love them I have said all along all this game needs is to be mutliplayer to be the greatest game ever made. I am looking forward to it and have been from the start. Please except my humble appologies if my last post upset anyone. I love TC Bullrun and TC2M and am looking forward to TCGSOW.
