To some extent I understand your suggestion that you should get a warning if you are about to exceed the road stacking limits on a night move, but then again in real life would you receive such a warning if two columns of men moving at night are about to collide resulting in men becoming disrupted? Once again I see that as a player skill in arranging his units so this does not happen and if you do make a mistake and overstack is that not just like an actual commander (or his subordinates) making the same mistake?

I really like this feature as it introduces yet another judgement a player has to make, it has never caused me any issues apart from cursing on the odd occasions when I disrupt units by making a mistake!  Big Grin

Well, like I said Darran, that's what makes the world go round.  I'm a gamer, I want a good game, a fun game, and a fair game.  I don't expect it to be just like being on the battlefield.  FWWC seems to be sub-titled "whatever can go wrong, will go wrong", which on the battlefield and especially a 1914 battlefield, I guess that's very realistic.  Does it make it fun though?  The answer to that is one of personal taste.
