Re:Still very frustrated with the "cover" model

Hey all,
Been playing around a bit more, but unfortunately the "hold at all cost" message doesn't seem to work... this problem seems to pop up the most when a unit has to wheel a bunch of times to fire at different enemies... eventually it just wheels off the cover a bit. Then, to compound problems, when I try to move it back INTO cover the unit will move towards the cover... then, when I hit "halt" when they are in cover they redress their lines (the ends move in and the unit clumps into a mass) and then reform off the cover again! It is very frustrating, as holding a defensive position can quickly dissolve into trying desperately to move guys into cover and get them to stay there.
If there is some way to "fix" this (for example, a "lock" button where the flag of the unit simply will not move) that would be lovely. I would like a regiment by regiment option, personally, as I often have half a brigade in cover but the other half in reserve or moving.
