Apparently it is possible to manipulate an enemy stack in order to increase the chance of a RBC.
This is not true.

10.5.2. retreat Before ComBat (RBC)
RBC code allows only one RBC attempt against a
combined stack – if successful, the entire stack retreats

It was true a long time ago. It was fixed some time back under TOAW III.

Larry I see you have been reading my research project from 1985. Here I am thinking that I was able to destroy all copies of it. Sometimes I miss the days before the internet when one could get away with almost anything at Uni.
Thought for the day:
If you feel like doing some work, sit down and wait....... The feeling does go away.

By the way, very nice compilation of tips HobbesACW.

Thanks Cabido. Still updating it occasionally.
I think I'm close to playing my first game after about 4 months!
Hoping to make a scenario sometime in the next couple of years :)

+1, yes, thanks for the verbage you submitted, it's really helpful. And
about the scenario you want to do sometime in the future...are you going
to do something timely? Real-world situation? But you'd probably rather
work on your favorite location and time period. I would. What is your
favorite?
Does the CIA still do wet work, from time to time, depending on the National Security threat say......?

I'm planning on making a scenario about the WW1 campaign in East Africa. But I want to play a few TOAW scenarios first.
