    I find that you just have to be careful with ordering units over walls. It seems you ahve to hit it at aobut a 90 degree angle or it all goes to hell.
    Fighting isn't about winning, it's about depriving your enemy of all options except to lose.

    Obviously I try not to use the walls any longer, but the fact remains that sometimes they are just horribly in the way. And when they work they are pretty nice. Though I still think a unit behind a wall should have a speeded up reloading to simulate the passing of muskets to the front men, even at low tech.

    Attacking a wall was often a recipie for disaster due to the defender having such impressive advantages. Especially if the defenders are light infantry with superior arms, range, accuracy and reloading. Jägers behind a wall would be nasty.

    Horses attacking infantry from behind walls is hilariously effective while horses jumping into hte middle of your huddled masses seem to really ruin hteir day(I can only guess people get jumped on by horses).
