1914 ADF is rediculous

[cazart!]

This would probably help. For example, I had 3 batteries on high ground, supported by 2 MG section and they were destroyed by a cavalry charge. My fault for allowing that to happen, but the MG sections only fired once each, and the batteries didn't fire at all (all in good order, in command, with ammo). Are you saying that if MDF and ADF is selected this sort of thing is less likely to happen? jonny ;)

It still would have not helped your specific situation, since the cavalry that overran did so from a distance that you thought you were safe.

However, in a front line situation, every one of those units would have fired at full strength against the closest threat stack, giving a good chance to disorder.... (of course the ones in the rear do not receive fire, so would likely move up and assault, so situation still not solved...
