I know the lack of defensive fire effectiveness has been discussed before but I had an idea that I thought I post and see where it goes. I am playing an Atlanta scenario and i find my Rebs are now on the defensive. I am constantly suffering the familiar, Yank stack moves adjacent to Reb stack, one reb unit of 200 men fires and hit 5 yanks, entire stack of 700 yanks fire and hit 25 rebs. Next turn i step back a hex or two and suffer the same. I think a possible solution would be if infantry was handled like the Naopleonic games where only the top unit in line formation can shoot. Other units in the stack can be rotated to the top to fire but this rotation can trigger defensive fire. Is that something that could be easily done? comments?
