I'm also pretty new to the game. So we both are still learning. But it will be worth it ! The game is one of the best I've ever played during all of my life (and I play game for 20 years now
).
you click the destination and then your brigade general starts moving there. Then you click the formation you want your brigade to be moved (battle line, double line, colum, skirmishers in front). Most often you choose manoevre colums, then you'll see the regiment flags appear next to the brigade general destination. Your brigade is now moving. If you choose double quick for the brigade general, your whole brigade starts to move in double quick pace, etc.
so important = you give orders to your brigade general and your brigade regiments. This is not exactly the same thing.
also important = if you put your brigade general on AI controlled, he might decide to do other things you want him to do. So if you click AI controlled out, the brigade general will do whatever you think is best. Otherwise he'll do what he thinks is best. This happens sometimes during engagements, for movement orders there's not much of an issue.
by the way = congratulations to the Madminutes team ! Bring out another game like this !
