How to find the parent unit in REN?

[Xaver]

An example of use different portraits per fire unit is in Cerisoles scen, the french right wing has in the french companies formation 4 units with 4 different portraits and same in left wing with italian infantry,

Yes, are scens where fire units are skirmish in OOB and is not a bad solution... here i am curious how could work them as skirmish but removing the skirmish penalties in fire power... in a custom scen "fleurus 1622" spanish side has big musket skirmish units (4x200) here the side of skirmish unit and the use of muskets with the 4 hexes attack range made them very usefull, a lot more than the normal non skirmish 2 hexes attack range arquebusiers in game.

Maybe here i allways find the weaker point in REN the lack of a way to made fire units usefull in battle because they are very easy to destroy in melee but only way to prevent this in open terrain is not fire and retreat behind own infantry, this limit to much their value... i use a lot them in skirmish job staking with pike units if i cant deploy them in buildings-villages or trenches but to use them as support inside a block or as garrisons i prefer dont need depend of a mother formation simple bigger skirmish units (100 soldiers for example) to mantein the number of units in a balanced situation.

But the best solution is in made shot untis can move one hex after fire maybe made fire units only use 50-75% of their action points.

Anyway if M&P serie is going to move closer to XVIII century we can find more 7YW style titles in OOB and need less franken OOBs like the one you find in REN with a more linear aproximation to combat (not only combat lines, i think to in infantry that can fire and melee all in one with no diference between units-mission like in REN block-fire units.)
