Is norb still working on some control issues?

I love the Currier system and I like playing as Corp command best. I still notice some odd movements taking place. It seems each time I send an order to a Division commander and he relays the order to his brigades, there sometimes is a regiment that does not move. Has anyone notice this behavior?
When I give a facing order upon arrival at a Divisions destination sometimes the brigades face in all different directions.
I can order my artillery to a certain position and ask them to form battery in line. At times they form up but never unlimber even though there is an enemy unit in site and within range (650 yds but never the less in range). How do I get them to fire?

Sorry this is so disjointed. I really am just wondering if Norb was continuing to tweak this part of the game. SOW is about all I play anymore.

The regiment not moving is a weird one, it's never happened to me but it has to a few others. I have no idea what causes it. Maybe something distracts that regiment? i dunno..

The facing command needs tweaking. It didn't get 100% fixed in 1.5 - but im going to try and look at a mod that will improve it first chance I get. See this link.

Norb is always working on the game - and i am a big courier fan, so as long as i am on the team i'll be pushing for new courier features.

One of the big issues we face when we look at these issues is recreating them. It's very hard to recreate certain behavior in the game. A lot of times if you can get us a saved game that can recreate the issue so that we can see it, we can fix it or at least give you a reason about why it cannot be fixed.

with your arty get right up close to them they may have line of sight but when you get close you find you parked them in the edge of a wood thicket and even though its says its fine it ain't and they can't see the target.

Yes sorry, i dropped the ball there. If you encounter it again, save the game and send it in to

sowsupport at scourgeofwar dot com

(replacing the 'at' with the @ sign and replacing the 'dot' with a period).

This should not be difficult for the NSD team to recreate if they play the game, as it occurs ~5% of the time. The problem with trying to get a save is that by the time the problem is noticed, the autosave has overwritten the file that would have been of benefit. If you would implement a feature, toggled on and off, that would give each autosave a unique name, (a timestamp), then it would be easy to send you such information.

I'm under the impression that a Saved Game can't be sent in if there was a mod used during the game.

So, how many players are actually playing the game without a single mod activated?
