I'm not a big fan of the newest patch. For example, I started a new battle as the Confederates and the Iron Brigade showed up and charged. Matter of fact, they charged from one end of the board to the other. They are unstopable. All they do is charge. And, if my unit is in the way, they charged right through them and kept on going. I had to turn around and chase them. I never could stop them. Every unit I placed on them were quickly drained and retreated. I also didn't like having to shadow/chase down other Union units that were routed. They would take off running and swarm a artillary unit and kill them off, run over an area I captured and I would lose those VPs and would have to go back and recapture it. The previous patches didn't do that. When the routed unit would run it would run around until it escaped. Now, the routed unit just runs over you killing off most of everything in it's way. They are more dangerous in this state. Not a complaint, just my two cents. Mike

No doubt a cavalry charge against massed infantry and cannons would be disastrous as you noted. Don't want to repeat Pickett's charge. I was thinking along the lines of mobility and the ability to scout around you. Hopefully the results would better than Jeb's encounter with Custer on the last day. Mike

What about a hypothetical scenario where you can add Jeb Stuart and the Calvary to the entire Gettysburg battle? I've always wondered if the outcome would've been different if the Confederates had the use of Calvary throughout the battle. Mike
