fallendown Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 As it stands if I am CSA and I rout a Union formation that union formation can easily circumvent my line of battle and reform behind my line and attack from the rear. This is a problem I've been addressing since the beta. Routing forces will always fall back on their own troops, they're not going to seek cover and protection from the enemy, unless they're surrendering of course. Right now, a routing enemy unit can crash into your lines and force your line to break. If anything a routing unit should rout only rearwards towards it's own lines, seek cover behind friendly lines, reform and then it can rejoin the attack. If a routing force is going to break any lines, it will break the lines of it's own forces as seen many times throughout the Civil War. This is most readily seen in 1863 during the Chancellorsville Campaign when Howard's Corps routs after they're flanked by Jackson's Corps. 1
Aggressive_Kunst Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Well, I think the units retreat much better now since last patch. It still happens if enemy shoots in ur back. Iam more surprised that units are still able to recover inside enemy hollow square :S
