Beginners questions

alaric99x, and the next thing you'll probably notice (if you have not already) is that companies fatigue much faster than batallions of even 2 companies grouped into a counter. To start with, only use companies where combat is light or non-existent. If you can afford it.

In some games the defending side moves 2nd naturally, and has companies in the 1st line directly exposed to enemy 1st turn devastating fire in some cases. In this case sometimes is even imposible to reform batallions, but I think that should be the goal of all it to stiffen the front. As long as you save even the broken unit then go behind your lines to rest it and later recombine when fatigue levels with the parent unit more or less match each other.
