controlling reinforcements possible?

Hi, I wanted to give SS mod a try, but I am wondering if controlling the AI reinforcements is possible in this mod? Some time ago someone posted so called 'retrofit' mod, which allowed Crusades-type control over reinforcements. I wondered if SS has implemented the same?

Stainless Steel indeed supports this most half baked feature.

It's implemented but I never use it due to the AI acting even worse than without

I actually use it since with it I can at least make the AI reinforcements move or NOT move... Without it, they're frequently either stuck on some random spot on the map or... they just charge into the enemy piecemeal (general first) while I am trying to manouver the main army into some meaningful position.

With the "control reinforcements" option, I can make the reinforcement army to arrive at some spot on the map and STOP in defensive position until I need them. Big difference actually.

I hate it when the AI general's bodyguard charges!
