Officer Facing Direction

Post by Jack ONeill »

All,

Heres a little something that has bugged me some - Why in the world, during battle, do Commanding Officers of Brigades and Batteries face AWAY from the action rather than towards it? Are they watching for their coffee and scones? It seems weird. Can this be changed easily? It is sort-of obvious to me one would be watching how to best get the job done, rather than assessing the treeline or whatever behind the lines. Looking for a line of retreat, maybe? Can anyone answer this? Much obliged.

Yes, we are talking about non-TC'd Commanders.

He's keeping an eye on the entire battlefield
He's waiting for a courier
He's watching their backs for a flank attack
He's keeping an eye out for reserves
He's making sure that his horse sprite size doesn't interfere with his proximity to his men
He's supposed to be home by sundown or he'll catch hell from the old lady
He's offended by the site of blood
He really has to go, so he's looking for a copse of trees
He's scouting the area for better ground

Not sure why it seems to happen this way, it cannot be modded. It might be because the standard bearer was mixing through the reg in front of him.

That's the one. Napoleon was constantly in search of a cannon wheel to pee on. :)

He's waiting for the Yanks to get close enough for him to moon them.
