Assault question

[nhill40]

Yes, that does help - thank you!

Based on your explanation, I can picture how flanking could be done on an operational level based on maneuver: if I am actively engaged with a group of enemy units along a north-south line but then was able to successfully maneuver an independent force to threaten the south end of the enemy's line, they enemy force would be forced to either thin out their north-south line to meet the new threat, or risk being rolled up from the south.

Something in my brain still inists some kind of "multi-directional assault" combat modifier should be applied, but this is more than likely a failure of abstract thinking on my part as something along these lines would have been obscenely easy to implement...and "corner cutting" is not a phrase anyone has ever associated with any of JT's games!
