The Battalion mass could do with beefing up against cavalry as it was designed to withstand charges.

On the Pz Campaign pages some one has been stitching the maps together to show the whole map area. This would be most useful for Eckmuhl and perhaps the next patch could include something like this.

Thus, the charge that we are francophiles is not true. If anything we would say that the Peninsular Wars game is a great title to work on due to the dollar potential as many Brits like the subject and are heavily into gaming. I mean, if I had a choice I would have done Peninsular Wars from that perspective over Wagram or Eckmuhl.

However, the Austrians hadnt been modeled in the series and I wanted to see if we could get some changes made that would accurately depict their differences in the period.

Thus to answer the first question, yes, we talked about a French and Allied movement rate but it wasnt accepted at the time. Too much recoding and all that. Yes, the Austrians may have been slower marchers but we also dont have fatigue accumulation during movement and that might be something to ask for.

I also understand one thing - Masse could easily form square over a "regular" column of the period (realizing that there were some five to six variations on this name).

Right now I would prefer to concentrate on seeing new titles come out that are favorites with the MAJORITY of gamers - not just a few. And we held a poll a year and a half ago and the results were overwhelming towards changes like what you propose. Different movement rates for each nationality and so on.

Many individuals worldwide contribute to the developments of these games. I am happy to inform you that they are most civil and very articulate in expressing their opions which goes along way to being heard.

Giving different movement rates to each army would require an engine change, and in the scope of the requested list of changes, that's not near the top. It might appear one day though.
