I would like to receive some tips to play the game battles more historical. I play MAW but I think that it could apply for any EAW game or even the Napolenic ones.
According to the Mexican Infantry Regulation of the time (that sould be more or less the same regulation of any other army), the army battalions have two formations for battle:
1) Battle line formation (fire).
2) Attack column formation (meele and bad terrain for maneuver).
In game terms, they sould look like these.
For game purposes:
1) Battle line formation: all companies should be allowed to fire.
2) Attack column formations: only 2 companies should be allowed to fire (because it es assumed that only 2 companies are in the head of the column).
¿Is that correct?
Also, I dont read about any other kind of independent battle maneuver with units below battalion level ¿It is historical accurate to make any other kind of formation with the companies beside the rigid battle line, column formation or square?
For example ¿like in this picture?
¡This is all for now, thanks for your answers!
