Any help is appreciated; really enjoying the game so far.

One thing that will help: got to each army and corps and click the wagon button to a sheaf of grain button. This will make the army/corps (and all units in it) forage instead of buy supply.

I don't know how to disband armies or corps.

To transfer, make sure they are both in the same area, hit the Province View and then click on the 'men' icons on the unit you wish to transfer out of. Then click on the unit you want to tranfer into. It should give you a slider for how much strength to move.

I normally put all my unwanted divisions into a low forage area - along with all my POW - and let them starve to death. [I have reported this as an abuse to the designer, and hopefully the patch wiull give me an incentive to do something else.]

Ralegh, I hit on that POW-strategy myself after huge numbers of Russian POWs were really causing havoc with my money/food; accordingly, they all got a one-way ticket to a 40K forage area and a whole lot of attrition. It does seem quite "ungentlemanly"...

Status: offline 		I have this logged as a bug - my suggestion is that VPs for a war should partially depend on the prisoners you have to return, and that letting prisoners starve should cost you glory - got any other ideas?

I'd like it to be a bit harder for them to be returned to active service though - perhaps released prisoners should be militia (because of poor equipment)?

I'd also like to 'disband' units and have them go back into the population.

2) a "Prisoner Exchange" option for Diplomacy.

A substantial morale hit that gradually comes back over time (6 months?) seems reasonable.
