But even so, its a choice that you could make to get a smaller scouting party.

It would actually be nice If the captain or Major stepped up and took command of that unit. And it could easely be fixed, that each Brigade you creat needs officers that you buy. Just add more officers from Lt to majors to buy. And that you could see the command structure for each brigade, and if the Captain/Major/Lt do good he gets a promotion after the battle

The unit migration, need to be fixed. I almost lost Cross keys since, my nicely put units in the woods, had good cover and full healt. My General was near, so no need for them to move. But about 50 sec left they start to migrate, and I can see my key unit, going from good position to a completly surrounded one just because, of some reason, My units squars touched somehow. But Ai troops dont have this problem, so why is it on player side.

I belive that it would be a much better game play, as for now I need to micro manage a charging troop. And no, a flleing troop still need to check its conditioning. Nxt up is 2 skirmisher try to catch up with a fleeing Artillery, the run away and can set up their guns. A fleeing, routing Artillery should leave their guns. This is not just annoying its silly.

And whats more annoying is everytime my Cav cach up this routed unit for the 15th time is in full recovery and cand shoot back. Since he had time to stop and rest with the space he gets with his uber speed.

Routing and retreating troops, have to much speed. Even a charging Cav can sometimes have hard to follow, since they are not hindered buy the terrain, like rivers, woods, swamp etc. Even worse if they stick to edge of the map. When they hit the corner edge they bounce right through the pursuing unit. I have chased a Cav with my Cav and one Skirm back and forth, now for a almost a entire battle of 1st Winchester. If I chase a unit to a border its should be allowed to leave the Battle at least. And somehow they are not counted as exhausted, as my pursuing troops eventually would get.

I actually like the small battles more then the large. Even though the large are surpsingly cool with several stuff open up, and sometimes diffrent side and stuff. But I would like to start out as a Captain or Major, and hence just doing a part of the big picture in the beginning, and not until I reach Colonel or Brig.Gen I get a full division, and those still just do the division part, Like holding the bridge i 1st Bullrun.

As I said had to buy everything possible, to expand my corps, Since I was afraid I did not have enough. And as i said, I lost alot of officers, and had hard even to get rebored farmers to fill my infantery. So my only option to fill the second corp was with Cav and Skirms and Artillery. After winning the battle though, by getting Cav and one elite and 2 skirm down the south in the Swamp, I waited until I got, second Corp on the bord and just rounded them up with surprisingly low casualties. I also deployed alots of Skirms from my original brigades. Fun map.

Im Plaing Confederated, Realised to late that at Gaines Hill, My Army have not enough manpower. I had just started to fill upp my second Corps. My problem have not been manpower but mainly buying rifles. I have 57 rep. My setup 1Corp 1st; 2k Inf *Spr55, 2k Inf * x2 Spr421,8 Inf * Spr42, 7 Guns ** 24How. 2nd 2k Inf * Miss, 1,7 ** MJ&G, 2k Inf ** Spr55, 1.2 Inf * Spr42, 12 Guns ** 12Nap. 3rd 404 Cav * Colt55/S, 542 Cav Cav * C55/S, 472 Cav *** LeMat, 10 Guns ** 12How, 382 Skirm * Spencer. 2nd Corp all Green 1st 2k Inf Rfarm x2, 2k Inf farm, 8 Guns 12How, 8 Guns 12Nap. 2nd 2k Inf farm x3, 6 Guns 12Nap, 4 Guns 12Nap. 3rd 2k Inf Miss, 369 Cav Cook, 6 Guns 10Par, 500 Skirm Hunt. I feel abit under powered. Is a point even doing the mission, or is it re-do and do-it-right?

Thx all for the help.

Sorry Newbie question. But tried some search but could not figure it out. So how do I combine 2 brigades? Does the general have to be killed?
