It happens with most german heavy infantry types, even general bodyguards, the exception being those chainmail armored guys that fight with axes (can't remember their name, sorry).

    Frameharjoz got a lot more useful now that I know how to form a shield wall with them, the only bad thing is that sometimes they revert to the default looser formation when engaging.

    Yeah, it seems that some units have been changed and others haven't. Yuck.

    Well, the port to 1.5 will allow us to use proper shieldwall. This is just an interem procedure.
