Marching Eagles Waterloo Version 2.03 update available

[Titus]

HPS has posted an Update to Marching Eagles Waterloo. The update includes -
1 - If a cavalry unit is in Attack Column (Echelon formation) and looses strength such that there are only 1 or 2 squadrons left, the unit now automatically changes from Attack Column to Line formation.
 
2 - New feature - The Prussians would form a solid square from Attack Column or March Column (battalion column) in a matter of seconds simply by closing ranks and turning the flanking files outwards. This is reflected in the game by changing the infantry unit to square automatically once a enemy cavalry unit moves into the same area. The British and French formed a hollow square and this took more time. Consequently the game will randomly decide for these armies if the infantry unit can form square before the enemy cavalry attack.
The solid square is more susceptible to artillery attack and greater losses can be expected.
3 - For Line Infantry brigades of Strength 5 or more, the unit may create a skirmisher screen - one new unit Strength 1 from the parent unit. This is a Light Infantry unit useful for scouting and help a player when using the Tactical Play option
4 - Updated Play By E-Mail mode such that all enemy movements and combat shown subject to Line of Sight (under FOW). All viewed for no FOW. Previously only the enemy combat phase was seen
5 - Army Morale <10% now results in game end.
