RE: Enfilade (and routing in general...) [Napoleonic Battles]
Okay, so I found that there is a dedicated info text ("ENFILADED") written on a unit card when a unit is affected by enfilade fire in the "1776 Campaign" (American War of Independence) title. Also, a unit with this status has its morale written in yellow (=lowered). So it is unlikely that this info text would be missing if the malus applied in the Napoleonic titles. Therefore, also based on the experience described in my post above, I guess that the enfiladed morale malus does not exist in the Napoleonic titles (at least in Leipzig and Republican Bayonets on the Rhine which are the two I own). So it seems as if enfilade fire just gives you the +20% bonus on firepower (skirmishers do not get this bonus), but has no special effect on the opponent's morale.
The manuals for the Napoleonic titles are just very confusing. And they're missing very essential stuff (e.g. disorder from stacking incompatible units). Oddly enough, of all the manuals I've seen so far for Tiller's premodern tactical series, the "Renaissance" one is the most complete one.
