Not all men showing up in battle

[Cabezone]

Why is it that only half of my men show up in battle? It seems to pull them randomly from my group as a whole. I have the battle size slider all the way to the right, but I'm not sure what that does anyway.

Even with the slider all the way to the right, there is a limit on how many units will appear at the start of each round of battle. Extra units will be held in reserve. To increase the number of units you start each round with, increase your tactics score. Every two points in tactics will allow you one extra unit.

Gotch, hmmm the tactics skill could use a bit of clarification in the character menu.

This is a pretty great game, I wish a big publisher would give these guys some money to hire a full team to work on it.

[shameless plug] Well, you could check out my quick and dirty manual, "Quick and Dirty Manual," in the discussion page. There you'll find all you ever wanted to know about M&B, and even some stuff you didn't know you wanted to know, but you would have if you did, and so once you do know that you would have wanted to know, you're even happier to know!

Anyone ever play The Secret of Monkey Island, when you ask the pirate in the SCUMM bar about Loom? This post should have "shameless plug" flashing at the bottom of the screen.
