I've played the open beta on Steam and the AI seems to be worse now than it was before. The Allied generals are particularly awful, loading up units in areas that are sure to be surrounded and completely abandoning prime objectives such as Verviers and Liege for no reason whatsoever.

I was enjoying actually getting a fight from Von Rundsteadt for once until this happened: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/495885/BF/BoBRoute.jpg The 12th SS started in Ouffet with the 1st SS and then in a single activation completed that entire route marked in red to go attack the 10th Armored. ...

I actually emailed the editors at Osprey Publishing asking them if it would be possibile to publish a FOG and FOGR series containing a series of battle for a particular period much like they do with the army list books for tournament play. I haven't heard anything back yet.

I'm suprised to see that the Ordonnance archers are not required at a 1:1 ratio with Gendarmes as core troops for the French Italian wars army. They appear to be optional? I guess my understanding was that at the time the Cavalry was essentially organized into three man "lances" consisitin...

May be silly questions but I'll give it a go anyways. So if the swordsmen are lined up behind the shot they move forward when contact is made during impact? If the swordsmen are lined up behind the pikes how and when do they get an overlap/
