Hello gentlemen and at first i want to thank you for reading my post,i have one question and i hope that you can be so kind to answer,i come from the Taloonsoft games back in the 90es with the turn based system,one good thing about these games was that i could keep in control of the specific portions of my army.
now with this game which i love i have one problem,is the sense to know where are my units,now i can recognize my brigades through their commanders,but when it comes to manage and know where are the big portions of my army i come with the issue that everything is a bit confused,for example now that i am playing the waterloo scenario using the French side i can't really find out anymore where is the complete Reille division,is there any way to highlight an entire division? and if not in the vanilla game is there any mod that can do that?
i hope that you can help me,thanks again for reading my post.
regards

You can use the Order of Battle button to see that info, or you can find your Corps commander and use the Arrow Down key to go to a division commander. You can use the arrow keys to go up, down and sideways through the chain of command.

There is no way to "highlight" a division or corps. As far as I know, the above method is the best way.

When you select a division commander or corps commander, his units are highlighted in yellow in the mini map.

Good tip. I didn't know that.

I reinstalled TC2M yesterday and noticed that the game clock runs even when you are looking at the Mini Map. I'm glad that this was changed so that now it stops.
