1914 suggestions for rules/engine enhancements

[Volcano Man]

Ah, OK. Well, that does make sense for units located in clear terrain but I am not sure how valid that would be by late war. What I mean is, late in the war it would be almost impossible to know how many men are in the open because of how the tactics changed, and also in historical accounts, the reoccurring comment about how war had changed from the 1800s to 1914 was the new "invisible battlefield" because of the long ranged fire, infantry taking cover, and so on (I think even Rommel refers to this in his book). So, in regards to the latter, it probably doesn't make sense to do it like Napoleonics and ACW in this regard because the units were not standing shoulder to shoulder like the previous era.

But who knows, maybe an improvement like that could work its way into the next title if it is thought to fit in well with the period, but don't hold your breath. :(
