What does this button do?

[derpus.maximus]

I assume this bar is for the order of reinforcements that show up through the battle. So why can't I drag unit cards onto it? Or interact with it in any way?

If that's not what it does, how can you affect the order of reinforcements? Maybe I don't want to use one of my five reinforcements allotted here on artillery.

...That's just the rest of the Army HUD for when you start the match.  It has the unit abilities like Hold, Hold Fire, Withdraw, etc.

Reinforcements are chosen random.  Usually by division.

It might do something should it have been a button, but it isn't.  it's part of the user interface after you select a unit on the field.

Well, then please consider this a request to have order of reinforcements part of the pre-battle deployment phase.

Agreed

A list of what will drop and when would be super helpful

Your first division of the deploying corps  will always arrive first. Second division will arrive second, etc.

Yeah, so it pays to be very, very careful on the Army Mgmt Screen prior to a battle, shuffling brigades around in order to make sure you don't get a bunch of cav and skirmishers to defend against a full on frontal assault

"But General, our line is hard-pressed! Cavalry will get there sooner and should deploy first!"

"Can't. Infantry's the first division in the first brigade." (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻)

You know how you can pick which brigades start in deployment zones in minor battles and some major battles?  I'd like to have the same mechanic used to specify the brigades that make up each reinforcement.  Also make it standard for all major battles as well, so that your divisions don't get so intermingled.

This won't happen. 

I would like, and I get the feeling I may be the one who has to do it, a list of exactly which unit drops in exactly what spot on every single battle.
