Nice goalposts, that's not what you said in the beginning, you said that >>2121244
>Any move order and they do the classic "left wing crushes into right wing" move. And good luck trying to order a retreat followed by a 180 turn to front the enemy.
Do you have a video of the flanks crushing into each other? Even the simple alt-less move command doesn't make the wings crush into each other.

>retreat some arquebusiers from the front lines, make them do a 180 facing the enemy while reforming into three lines
Works on my machine. There's some small disorganization at the beginning, but no big deal and certainly no wings crushing into each other.

I've also been clicking my hardest and don't see any wing crushing at all. Soldiers are telepathic and magically move to the the most appropriate spot in their new facing an location.
