Controlling Reinforcements

[Chosun]

Has anyone found a way to control the order of your reinforcements ala previous TW games? A mod or manual game txt edit? I miss this option alot and would of helped alot in preparing for some of my huge multi-stack battles.

Man, I'd love to hear the answer to this.

I'd like some guidance on this too. So far, the best I can get is the reinforcing stack sitting on the sidelines, "feeding" me individual units as my originals are knocked out.

The reinforcements will come into battle to replace the current army's units. They do arrive in an order, if you look at the reinforcing army before the battle, the units from it will join the battle in order of left to right, top to bottom. (IE, the same way you read in english.)

So I know WHAT I'll get when they arrive. The downside is, there doesn't seem to be an easy way to arrange the order of units within a single army... only by shuffling them between armies (and using up movement doing it).

What about for 2+ stacks? Is there a way to at least know the order of appearance for the 2nd and 3rd stacks? etc...

I think I had 4 stacks in a battle a couple times and it sucked because some of my reinforcements were completely useless and I had to rout them to get the units that I wanted.
