Playing HRE in early and short of cash I am fielding huge armies of Militia Sergeants (I've modded them a +1v for bohemia, and invested in weapons, armor and morale in bohemia). They're cheap to produce and replace, and plenty have pride or brave beyond belief. A lot of them go into battle with valour of 5-8.
I've been playing them in the woods where they can take on pretty much any early unit, especially the Hungarians (who field lots of HA and javs). It's been working well.
The problem is that I can't see what's going on and it's impossible for me to keep them in a decent formation. I can't flank with them. I'll have six or seven units of MS and they'll keep alternating between winning easily and losing badly.
BTW, do they still get a charge bonus in the woods? And what about wedge formation, do they keep their formation bonus even in the woods?
Is there anyway to see through the trees?
