| For added realism, stragglers too might be lost along the march ... In fact the concept of stragglers could also be used to reduce combat losses to more historical levels, for instance the feature might work something like this:- A percentage of losses (ideally set in the pdt, so that the right leve... |

| Perhaps movement fatigue (and possibly even movement disruption too, like in the Nap engine) could be added to the weather feature at some point? Marching for hours through mud or heavy rain must have been exhausting. Also maybe there could be movement fatigue for using more than 1/2 maximum movemen... |

| I have the following HPS titles: - Antietam, Atlanta, Chickamauga, Corinth & Gettysburg and can be contacted here: <fow65 at yahoo.co.uk> Any small to medium sized battle from any of the above titles would be fine.

| How about some ACW titles at the company scale? There must be plenty of small scale actions that could be done that are too insignificant to cover properly at the regimental level. Maybe the EAW engine would be more suitable, but surely the games - if any ever get created - should be played at this ... |

| Perhaps units with high fatigue - and also disrupted units - shouldn't be allowed to move adjacent to the enemy? Wouldn't this help reduce unhistorical casualty levels and encourage players to rest troops and keep some fresh reserves to plug gaps? Brig. Gen. Rich White 3rd Brig. III Corps Phantom Ca... |

| Ideally, each unit (guns as well as infantry and cavalry) should have a certain amount of ammo, which should be recorded in the same way that fatigue and casualties are recorded. With extreme FOW, this ammo level wouldn't be known to the player. In the scenario editor it would be possible to modify ... |

| Since there's now a separate melee resolution sub-phase, wouldn't it make sense if <i><b>any</b></i> unit that hadn't conducted defensive fire yet should be able to fire - at full strength - immediately prior to any melees occurring. In addition, it would be a good idea if any unit that had only con... |

| Would it be worthwhile having stragglers - due to movement (especially night movement) as well as combat? Casualties in the game tend to be much higher than historical, so if say 50% of all losses were actually stragglers and could gradually return to the unit if it rested away from the combat zone ... |

| 1. Generally, do you play in 2D or 3D? 2D, although I might occasionally switch to 3D for part of a turn just for a change. 2. What's the longest battle you've fought, in turns? 100+ 3. Do you play in single phase, or multi-phases? Answer as a percentage for each. Perhaps 95% Single phase. I rarely ... |

| Wouldn't it make sense if the captured guns just switched sides like captured supply wagons, but without a 50% reduction in strength. The guns could then move by prolong only. Alternatively, there might be say 50% chance of the horses also being captured and thus allowing the guns to limber up and m... |

| I'm not particularly eager to see ranged fire for mtd cav. for this series. It would only really be worthwhile if more company (ie. EAW) scale scenarios were going to be created. But it might be worth considering a <b>melee bonus </b>for certain weapon types, eg shotgun. In that case pistols and sho... |

| Mtd cav fire would need to be at 1 hex range, assuming this represented a distance <b>up to </b>125yds (so it needn't be as far as 125yds, and could possibly be less than 20yds). Thus 1 hex range in the ACW engine = anywhere between 1 and 3 hexes in the EAW series. In firefactor terms, that would me... |

| The ability to breakdown - and recombine - cavalry has been present in the Nappy engine since the BG days, and it's a feature that would be very useful for this engine too. While I'm against splitting infantry regiments, so that they can operate completely independently, I still feel that skirmisher... |
