Question - Wheel Left \ Right

[Davinci]

Hey , I have a question about the command to Wheel left \ Right .

I can no-longer use this command if my units are in the fighting formation , but the command does work if I switch them back to the basic line formation .

So, did this change with the latest patch, has it always been this way, or have I messed up my game again ?

Also, this only applies to the fighting formation, the commands work while in column, etc…

Thanks,

davinci

I'm a little confused with your question.

What exactly is a fighting formation?

You can wheel regiments no matter what formation they are in, even when engaged.

Wheeling brigades, you have to wheel the brigade commander, then hit a formation and the units will reform to the direction the brigade commander is facing.

Ok, My Bad!

Let me explain this in a different way.

If my regiments not the Brigade Commander are in a standard line-formation I can wheel them left and right.

But, if my regiments are in a fighting formation or as you say engaged they will not wheel left or right , I have to place them back into the standard line formation to get them to wheel.

I’ll almost bet that it is something that I have done, but I wanted to make sure that this was not implemented with the latest patch, due to the fact that I don’t ever remember seeing this before.

DRIL_Lvl6_Inf_LineFight -> CanWheel=0

Right?

Problem Solved – the command that does this is the Column I drills file, for some reason I changed that by mistake.

The value has to be a 0 or a 1.

But, this does seem to stop the AI from wheeling also while engaged , so this might be welcomed mistake.

Right?

Thanks, ADukes - I think that we posted about the same time, after I checked the drills.csv file.

Now, I think that I'm going to leave it like this for a while to test the results out.

I have noticed that the units do suffer a little bit more casualties on the ends of the line, but it also seems to keep the AI aligned in battle, so that is good.
