They shootless effectively if they move or turn. Troops shoot better at short range, with full arc of fire, and when stationary. It, therefore, pays to concentrate your fire as much as possible on individual enemy units. The more shooting damage a unit suffers in a turn, the more likely it is to lose cohesion. Routers won’t.Īlthough an enemy unit can be worn down eventually by casualties, reducing their cohesion is the real object of shooting. Troops that pursue off the visible map may return later. You cannot issue orders to routing troops until they rally, nor pursuers until they stop pursuing. When a unit routs, its opponents may pursue. However, if you can keep the enemy occupied with other units they may get a chance to rally. If they attempt a Fall Back action when the enemy is in charge reach, they will probably break. Fragmented troops cannot charge and cannot move far. Fragmented troops are likely to rout if anything else goes wrong, or if they are charged. This is much more important than inflicting casualties, as units will often break long before they have suffered heavy casualties, and when they do so, nearby enemy units may also suffer cohesion loss even though they might be at full strength.ĭisrupted or Fragmented troops fight less well. The key to defeating the enemy is to make his units drop Cohesion (Morale) until they break and run. Moving him to a routing unit will increase their chance of rallying, but is risky as he cannot leave again until the unit stops routing, and he will go off the map with them if they don’t rally. Moving a general to an unsteady unit will increase the chance of the unit rallying.
Generals give the unit they are with a big boost in close combat, but they cannot issue orders while they are in close combat, so the units of their command will be deemed out of command range until the close combat ends, unless they are within range of another general in line of command.Īlso, generals in close combat risk being killed or incapacitated, which can have a disastrous effect on the morale of nearby units.
If they are out of command range they will be less maneuverable. Try to keep your units within command range of a general in line of command.
