I haven't played Napoleonics in many years, but here is isolation from Waterloo. It appears much less severe than ACW, with apparently even routed units able to defend themselves. 5.4.14 Isolation Isolation is an Optional Rule that can be used to simulate the effects of units being surrounded and cut off. Under this rule, if a unit cannot trace a line of hexes free of enemy units or their Zone-of-Controls to either the edge of the map or a friendly Supply Source, then they are considered Isolated. When a unit is Isolated, the following effects apply: • Isolated units to have their strength divided by 2 when defending in a melee. • Isolated leaders receive no benefit from their commanders during command checks. • When an Isolated Artillery unit fires, it may become Low or Out-Of-Ammo. The Artillery unit will become resupplied when it becomes non-Isolated, unless the Artillery supply level for its side is zero.5.4.14 Isolation Isolation is an Optional Rule that can be used to simulate the effects of units being surrounded and cut off.

Still doesn't change my attitude toward isolation. |
