Since Baloons were rather rare in the ACW, attaching them to combat arms units may be stretching things a bit.

Perhaps a new seperate Baloon unit could be implemneted, or make it so only Arty. can have a Baloon unit.

Implementing a new and seperate Baloon unit with increased observation ability would be nice, as then the player would not have to buy so many Baloons and have their Inf. and cav. units moving around the screen and in firefights etcs. wih Baloons bobbing from them. The USA actually had Baloons attached to a ship or two on the Miss. river I do nelieve, so maybe also allowing Baloons to be attached to gunboats would be somewghat historical and interesting.

The idea of making these separate units is an interesting one. It's not something we can do for this patch -- remember my dictum that we're not adding new features, since those would delay the "gold" version of the patch -- but we'd consider it for the future. Would you mind adding this post to the Wish List, so the suggestion doesn't slip through the cracks?

Yes, of course. Chris
