hold orders

[TJD]

Thanks Paul.

Now that explains why my main battle lines break up in three to four turns after contact. Some charge, others retreat, some hold their ground. I could not figure out if it was possible to maintain a line. Reserves placed close to the main line was the only solution I could come up with.

So "Hold" can be used to maintain the integrity of the line. I had no idea. I'd gotten the impression that Hold was a sort of administrative rather than tactical order to keep cav from going off half-cocked.

Wow. Good to know. Hey, Paul, tell us more good stuff! Lots of eager students here. Put up a sticky and add a daily tactical tidbit, or something. We need to hear more from you.

Best,

Tim
