Status: offline 		Two questions
1)Is there any benefit to changing the formation of hq unit?
2)The manual says enemy cannot see my hq unit unless it is in an adjacent hex but somehow enemy artillery targets my hq while it is well behind my lines?

Yeah, in the rules artillery can actually attack enemy HQ if there are no other possible targets and they can see the hex the HQ is in. This doesn't really happen very often, but I've seen it happen. I'm going to change this for the next update since they really shouldn't be able to target that.

I thought I'd give some Civil War buff out there a chance to show off, but since no one has, I shall share with Eric and the rest of you what Wikipedia has to say about the death of CSA Gen. Leonidas Polk: "On June 14, 1864, Polk was scouting enemy positions near Marietta, Georgia, with his staff when he was killed in action by a Federal 3-inch (76 mm) shell at Pine Mountain. The artillery fire was initiated when Sherman spotted a cluster of Confederate generals — Polk, Hardee, and Johnston, with their staffs — in an exposed area. He pointed them out to Maj. Gen. Oliver O. Howard, commander of the IV Corps, and ordered him to fire upon them. Battery I of the 1st Ohio Light Artillery, commanded by Capt. Hubert Dilger, obeyed the order within minutes. The first round from the battery came close and a second came even closer, causing the men to disperse. The third shell struck Polk's left arm, went through his chest, and exited hitting his right arm, then exploded against a tree; it nearly cut Polk in two."

Consider it an homage to South Park's Kenny.
