  1. Thanks man! Appreciate it! Looks like I'll have to get this one then!
  2. Anyone, Bueller? Bueller? In the selected battles, are historical troop amounts used?
  3. Cool, thanks so much for the reply. I'm assuming troop numbers are set at the historical amounts?
  4. I'm slowly coming around to actually consider buying this game. Formations seem to be much better and are less frequently blobs of men. My question is, can you select battles you play a la carte without having to play through the campaign?
  5. I'm REALLY happy to see that formations were "improved". The blobs/mobs of formations is the only thing that has me not buying this game yet until it is completely fixed. Does anyone have videos with the new patch so I can take a look at the "improved formations"?
  6. I think the most frustrating thing is that ENTIRE brigades (like 6 ranks deep) all fire at the same time which is ridiculous. Brigades are made out of several individual regiments (which look like they are separated in regiments in this game in one unit). The brigade's regiments need to deploy into line of battle and not all fire via one massive, disorganized blob. Would it be that difficult to make brigades deploy in line of battle?
  7. I REALLY, REALLY want to like this game, I really do. I have some 50+ hours on UGG and I have to say I definitely enjoyed my time with it. However, I DO have a major issue with unit formations in the game that I was hoping would be fixed by one of the patches (and it wasn't). It seems that literally all formations become MASSIVE blobs of men and they advance like a mob. The AI absolutely refuses to hold ranks and I have to say it ruins the experience for me. They worked day in, day out, on drill, at ALL levels to maintain unit formations and discipline. That's not to say that in the din of battle there wasn't confusion, but advancing and formations were absolutely second nature to the men. I don't mind the men retreating in mobs/blobs as a panicked mob of men would do exactly that. Another frustration is a total lack of formations itself. There are no options to go from say column by division into battle line formation, marching column, wheeling...etc. Formations are used for different things and again having one formation of a blob of soldiers is disappointing. Like I said, I really, really want to like this game and am hoping that this gets fixed in this coming game. Cheers,
