Changing the facing of a unit

Hello --

I have started playing the game, and I have not figured out how to manually change the facing of a given unit. For example, if I want to flank an enemy formation, I change to column formation, and get on the flank of the target unit. After I maneuver into position, I then change to line formation, and then have to take the extra step of marching toward the enemy.

Is there a way to simply change the direction of the unit I am maneuvering similar to that in the Gettysburg game?

Thanks.

Yes, the exact same "pivot facing" buttons, or you drag and turn the unit using the green facing arrow. I know the stock games uses the latter method, and the Grog toolbar mod uses the turn buttons. Its been a while since I played the stock game but I *think* it also has the pivot facing buttons as well.

The 'Wheeling' commands are on the Context Menus Stand, unit resting. The Grog Toolbar includes them on the main toolbar for efficiency rationale.
