RE: fanaticism and losing Cavalry Charge bonus
A friend mentioned that in the "npb.pdf" document (the Napoleonic Battles manual) its says this about Fanaticism on page 38:
Fire Modifiers
Enfiladed: the increase in effect of fire directed against a target unit which is not facing the firing unit.
Cavalry: the increase in effect of fire directed against mounted cavalry.
Fanaticism Value: the increase in Morale that certain specified units receive.
It does not discuss if it applies to rout recovery. I am not sure if it raises the morale in Melee attacks for the comparison check (morale vs. morale) of the units in the melee on both sides. I do not think it does.
"Certain specified units" really means only infantry from what I remember. I do not think that cavalry or artillery receives the Fanaticism bonus.
Most of us agree that the fanaticism bonus for the Russians only applied within "Mother Russia" and not at battles like Austerlitz.
