Nice list, few remarks:

1. You name the Confederates in 'Auto Defensive Fire'. Shortage of ammo should not be a big factor for them with ADF set to medium range. For my PBEM games Auto Defensive fire with Manual Defensive Fire is my way to play. The triggered defensive fire is very unreliable.

2. Supply waggons are no longer affected by 'Movement Threat Disorder' with WDS v4.0. With v4.01 the chance to get disrupted is halved compared to previous iterations and limbered artillery won't provide any threat.

3. Hexside obstruction is consistant, not sure why you have mixed results regarding this.

Optional Melee Resolution - ON is recommended

As this rule prevents the so called "Blitzkrieg tactics" in turn gameplay, that were a problem since the release of the series, it is highly recommended.


This rule works fine in ACW series but IMHO it is not suitable for Napoleonic games due to skirmishers units which  can effectively block access to the line of defense.
