| Well this questions goes more into the internal mechanics of the game but maybe someone can answer this. I had somehow the impression that making breastworks works similar to making trenches where 100 or a fraction of 100 will raise the trench value and so lead to constructing a trench faster.

| I guess skirmishers or sharpshooter companies could have done it better with less threat to them because of using the cover that the ground provided. |

| In Napoleonic tactics the column formation was used extensively to get the troops into position as close as possible to the enemy. Here, artillery was the main factor in how long they could stay in column before deploying to line. As one writer said on Napoleon's main attack at Waterloo. The artill... |

| Sorry I should have been more precise here and have corrected it now. What I meant was that it wasn't PUBLICLY tested, at least I didn't see any public announcement for it on the unofficial board nor any other source like it is done now for the other 2.0 patches. The sudden official release came ver... |

So the download versions that I can get from JTS of the older HPS releases are already more "advanced" that what I can achieve with the normal HPS games and the current patches from HPS?
Interesting because I thought there isn't any difference between the JTS and the patched HPS games. |

| Out of the Napoleonic times I read that commanders preferred to move a battalion in column whenever possible because a line could easily disorder. I guess it wasn't that serious in the Civil War era or else we would see that chance of disorder also in HPS/JTS Civil War series like it is in the Napol... |

As for now there are just many rumors but not many facts, I hope that the step taken by W9 isn't as big as the step from WXP to W7, that indeed brought some compatibility issues.
If this will be also the case when going from W7 to W9 has to bee seen. |

| @KWhitehead Well as the whole engine is a "simplification" from front to end(moral values, weapon values, movement points, hex fields, turns, the whole I-go-You-go gameplay, etc.) so it isn't a surprise that the same is done with the "current state" of the units. Would I like to ... |

| Many thanks for the insight. To the point of "Disrupt", I think the notes make clear that a unit that is "disrupted" is simply unable(or unwilling) to conduct a melee, so while the term isn't really fitting the fallout we see in the game seems to fit good, a good volley of defens... |
