The reason is very simple: The reaction intervals in ACW are simply too long. The American Civil War series is based on a 20 minutes' turn, whereas the Napoleonic series uses 10 or 15 minute turns. 20 minutes turns can lead to very absurd results, like infantry being able to outflank cavalry and strike out of nowhere. Also, I have troubles to identify which unit has moved where, because positions change so much in between the turns. Across clear terrain, mounted cavalry can move 12 (!) hexes per turn in Gettyburgh, infantry 6 hexes. It's by far too mobile for my taste.


I'm curious if you use Phased Play or not.  The reason I ask is because I have played with Phased play exclusively and I do not find the mobility of units to be a problem at all if your position is anchored correctly it is well neigh impossible to blitz around the flanks, and proper screening by Cavalry, is king.  Now, I have never played any of the Nappy Games, only ACW, so my perspective is limited to just that series.
