Good to know about 1, 2,3, 4 and CTRL-x.
The news system is about 5 steps behid i relation to old one though. its hard to place troops in right place ( use the terrain), no ability to set formation ( 1 line, 2 lines, etc) no finetuned movement ( 10 paces forward, etc) and most important for musket armed troops: HOLD FIRE. in WFnS it was most important tool to win engagement, wait for right moment and fire salvo and optimal range.
Big minus on my side.
On other comments, as much as i like he naval combat, i dislike fact about no control over ships guns. even simple hold space long for high shot, tap for shirt range, would be better.
