I'd like to add another 'pet peeve' about rout. When your units rout and recover they always come back in column formation, even if they were in line to begin with. Give me a break.

They are very big and I think you will find it is a severe handicap for the Union player on the attack. The stacking limits are 1000 men or 8 units. This me... |
