Units under my command do not allow control

I recently acquired the 150yr Anniversary version. I was playing the Antietam game. In many of the battle segments I have units assigned to me in the OB, however I have no control over them. If I go the ME and arrow through my command I go to these units, however I cannot control them. I have found this is most prevalent with the artillery, however is does also happen with the infantry.

I have added the saved game file

Is this a bug or a feature? How do I modify this to give me command of all the units under my command?

Great game by the way.

Are you familiar with the Take Command button? We refer to as the TC button. It looks like a flag and when highlighted, that unit will do whatever you tell it to (for the most part). It essentially bypasses the AI.

Hi,

Yes, I am very familiar with the "Take Command button" and that would work just fine and dandy if it were available. In the scenario I provided in the save game file, half the units under my command do not have any control button, to include the Take Command button.

Which scenario is this? You may not have control of all of your forces at the start if they weren't initially involved in the battle, or not involved at all.

It should be indicated in the scenario intro under your available forces.
