Have boys, i noticed that to the beginning of every battle the game lines up all the unities of infantry on three ranks, did I want to know, there is a way to line up the unities of infantry on five files?

Yes +key Increases unit ranks -key decreases unit ranks hope that helps.

Edit: plus on the command board (or whatever it is called i cant remember) there should be two buttons at the bottom of the screen that show a plus sign and a minus sign, the plus increases the rank and the minus decreases the rank.

Generally not a good idea though as only the front rank can fire in NTW - the other ranks have no other purpose than to fill in gaps in the front rank as its men get shot down.

So a unit in 5 ranks has only 40% of the firepower of one in two ranks (i.e. only 32 of a 160-man unit can fire as opposed to 80 in a 2-rank one).

Not unless your on a hill were all soldiers in the rank have a clear line of sight over the other ranks.
