As most of you know, the importance of gaining your opponent's flank should be one of your biggest priorities. Many a strong position can be overcome with a good flanking unit. My question is: What is the exact definition of a flank? How close do you have to be to the enemy to give their army a flanking morale penalty. What angle to the enemy determines if you get the morale penalty for side or rear flank? Also, do some units give you a better penalty to enemy morale than others? I know that in Sid Meier's Gettysburg!, you could tell when you were getting the flank due to the fact that your troops would be close enough to shoot at the enemy, but hand-to-hand combat in Shogun does/cannot give a clue as to when you are close enough. Lastly, does your flank stay affixed on the map to where you started the game, or does it move with the direction of your troops. Please help me!!!! My flank will thank you! Elmarko of Fearful Ways
