melee bug fix for TATW?

[guffey]

Is there a melee bug fix for TATW? Meaning the one where only the front line of a unit attacks and the rest stay back. I've been playing with SS6.4 for so long that i forgot it existed until I fired up TATW again. I've tried searching these forums but can't seem to find anything.

Versions:
TATW 3.2
MOS1.6
Steam version of medieval+kingdoms


Thanks!

Are you talking about shield wall and spear wall special abilities?

No i'm talking about when you select a unit to attack an enemy unit, and only the front rank charges, and the 4-8+ ranks behind them don't move. So it becomes something that looks like the diagram below. The dots are one unit, and dashes are the enemy unit:

HIghlight all units and double click the unit you want to charge. Clicking on one unit wont fix the problem. If that doesnt work then Idk

Not sure if i wasn't specific enough. Those blocks are one unit only, just the ranks within that unit. The front line (5-15 people) is engaged about 10 ft in front of the rest of the same unit (140+ other people). The rest of the unit does not move to engage unless i click past the enemy unit, then click to attack again.

I've had this problem too, first in vanilla and now in TATW. I've had to charge through them to get even half of them to engage. It's rather ridiculous to watch and kinda ruins battles. It's at its worst during city battles.

Best way to counter this that I've found is to wait until the last possible moment to mount a head on charge. Charges on angles usually result in the above ery. Also I'm pretty sure this is an issue with the engine and not something the TATW devs can fix.
