interpenetrations

Just a thought I have had for a bit and thought I would put it out there.
Interpenetration in the PC game is very different from the TT rules. In the TT game LF can interpenetrate anyone else, but can't be interpenetrated by other troops, so heavies, meds, cav etc that rout through LF would end up causing a cohesion loss for bursting through them. You can't charge through LF unless it is an uncontrolled charge where the heavier troops just push the poor lights aside and have to at the enemy. Also LH can not interpenetrate or be interpenetrated by any friends except LF. See lots of times where the LH goes through cav, foot or other LH without any penalty to those passed through.
Not sure if this was an intentional change in the rules or just something that has been overlooked, can't recall if it was ever brought up in beta or not.

We changed the rules deliberately. For example when play testing it became just a lot of clicking to move your light foot through your pikes to then charge the pikes. We get the same effect allowing the pikes to charge through the light foot.

One of our key goals was to reduce the clicks required to play a turn. The focus had to be on clean interface to allow players to focus on strategy and tactics.
