Reinforcements delayed?

[ziegenpeter]

Ok I was astonished, because it never occured unitl yesterday... It made me stand around for an entire battle waiting for those roman lazybones to help me (or do the biggest part of the job ) killing off some crazy epeirote Elite fullstack. I did't want to shed my blood because I was helping the romani to lift a siege, but they never came. I wasn't aware that "delayed" means in TW terms "not coming at all". Or do they sometimes come?

BTW, about reinforcements: I got the feeling that the checkmark box for letting the ai control reinforcements is screwed. Usually it is no checkmark=you control the forces right?
And unlimited men on battlefield unchecked changes what?

Thank you
