Rout Limiting

[Jgolch]

Thanks for clarifying BigDuke66. I have done quite a bit of research on the different wargame websites regarding the Rout Limiting optional rule. To be honest I am no closer to a definitive answer than when I started. Gamers are very passionate about this rule. Ironically they both make the same arguments; historical accuracy. Those that favor using the rule claim that without it there are too many mass routs. Also, they say it makes it harder to play the Union in ACW or the Allies in Napoleonic titles. On the other hand, those that dislike it claim that using it makes battle lines too hard to break. Armies fight harder than they would historically. Players use sloppy tactics and casualties are way too high. I guess I'll just have to figure this one out myself. Currently I'm going to play with Rout Limiting OFF and Flank Morale Modifier ON like you suggest in both ACW and Nap. I can always change later. These are just games.
