Several new features were added to Jena - one is being discussed in another thread but still another that wasnt mentioned is that skirmishers in chateau hexes will not be overrun by a retreating defender even when the No Skirmisher Overrun rule is OFF. Its a default thing now to accomodate those that complained about the lack of skirmishers to hold their own.
My goal was to get it for ALL non-open terrain but this was the compromise and frankly its better than before. All you have to do really to avoid seeing your own skirmishers overrun ... is to not put them in a place where that can happen! :laugh:
I never favored seeing the No Skirmisher Overrun rule added as frankly anyone that gets their own skirmishers overrun during your own phase should have known better. Its not rocket science. Just dont put them in a place where they can be endangered.
And it saves on the old skirmisher surround tactics of the past where in NIR my French formed infantry was being swamped by Moscow Militia skirmishers (??).
