i can't charge them with infantry either. is this right?

No. That's how you capture the guns. If your unit is "Tired" or worse, they won't charge.

Beef and Born,

I was the one unable to take a French Battery with charging horsemen. Horse were fresh, not blown or tired, with good morale. We have found this to be a glitch from somewhere. Have not yet had the alleged opportunity to waste Infantrymens lives in an attempt to remove cannon from the other sides possession. It will come up soon, I'm sure.

On another note - the French Army of Germany has grown somewhat today with addition of 2 Divisions of Oudinots 2nd. Corps, with attached Corps Reserve Artiilery. Sweet. Pictures forthcoming. I can now put 45,000 men on the field on each side. Gotta get some bigger maps. :laugh:

BTW,

Born, thank you for the info on how to post pics. Works like a charm.

DaV,

I WAS being nice. I acknowledged a mistake AND his information was correct. Fair is fair.

I knew that was a problem. Logged it as a Feature Request with Norb. The infantry will unless G has modded it out.

B,

Roger that.

... men were not tired, they were sitting in column formation,hidden next to a road for more then 20 minutes, enemy didnt see them and sent all there guns down the road. the guns were limbered when i charged and nothing happened. then they ran a short distance and unlimbered , i tried to charge again and thats when nothing happened and i ate canister.

I know it works because I use it all the time to capture guns. It was taught to me by JC Edwards who is a master at this game by anyone's standards. However, I only play the Historic Scenarios with no mods except RebBugler's toolbar so maybe that has something to do with it.

I'm sure someone else will jump in to confirm or deny this.

Guys???

Born,

Yes it works in ACW. It's not working in the Napoleonic Mod. Can't figure out what the difference could be.

My bad. G will have to answer that one.

That is something I shall change. It's an easy fix and ive attached the drills that will allow you to charge. I had set the line formations to CantCharge = 1. In the SDK this says the unit will not counter charge but in reality it means it wont charge even on manual, although i think auto-charge will still work. Either download my file and overwrite the first one assuming its unedited, or open drills.csv, go to "Level 6 Infantry 3Line (0)" and "Level 6 Infantry 3Line Fight (1)" at the bottom, go to row R and delete the 1 there.
