Army Changes To add more national flavour to each army the unit names have been translated into their national languages. This did, however, create an inconsistency in the French army where corps numbers are displayed as Roman Numerals rather than by French notations such as 2‚me Corps. Command Changes As well as the "Rejoin Command" order (see the Technical Supplement), we have added an order to allow commanders to bring all their detached units back under their direct command. When a "Reattach Units" is given by a commander all previously detached units will return to the direct control of the commander and will manoeuvre back to his position. The commander will then reorganise his units, before continuing with his Operational Order. Routing Brigades Brigades that have routed may rally and return to their commander for further orders. A message is displayed saying that the brigade has rejoined its commander. The next time their commander is ordered they will absorb the returned brigade as for Reattach Units. The brigade may also be ordered independently by the player. Army and Wing Commanders These commanders may be moved by the player around the battlefield in order to inspire their troops. To move an Army or Wing Commander open his order box then click on the desired destination point. Occupying Buildings Infantry can be ordered to occupy buildings by selecting a building as their destination point. Once the infantry reach the destination they will enter the building and gain the benefits of the cover of the building from enemy fire and assaults. Ending a Game The game will automatically finish when 70% of either side have been killed or permanently routed, or at 21:30, whichever occurs first. Reviewing the Game You can review the current level of victory by pressing the R key. Delayed Orders Orders are always passed from the army commander to his subordinate commanders and then to the unit involved. At Guard difficulty level the delivery of an order is delayed by the time it takes for an order to travel down the command structure. This means that it will take a while for a unit to respond to your direct orders. Be patient, the unit will respond when the order reaches it. Until then the unit's order box will display its previous order. Issuing Lots of Orders On slower machines when you issue lots of orders at the start of the large battles (Waterloo and Ligny), the game will slow down as the game's AI transmits the orders. To avoid this problem issue your initial orders to your Corps commanders then issue more direct orders to divisions and brigades as they move into contact with the enemy. Alternatively, issue your initial orders then wait until they have been implemented before giving any further ones. CHANGES FROM THE FRENCH MANUAL The translations of orders have been changed as follows: Mixte formation has become Ordre mixte. Eparpill‚e has become En Tirailleur.
