Opt rules to add realism

I do not advocate playing with the Multiple Infantry Melee rule. Far too powerful for the attacker. The Isolation rule actually is rather historical but it does lead to gamey maneuvering. The thing about it is is that you CAN rescue the troops on the turn that they BECOME isolated so just keep a good reserve to the rear of the threatened sector if you can. A brigade of heavy cavalry usually suffices! ;)

Cavalry SHOULD become and REMAIN Disordered for the following TWO turns after a charge (minimum really). Pursuit of an enemy would not be considered a charge per se. Just the actual charge to contact. Unfortunately this will not happen BUT it could if the command levels of cavalry brigades and their div. commanders were lowered. British cavalry for instance got out of control rather easily once on the charge. British cavalry was pretty much a one shot affair but French cavalry after one good charge was the same. It is a shame that the series never was corrected in this area. But I did try ...
