what would you suggest to improve pbem battles?

[Cor]

I would like to see a "attack commanders" option for both ranged and melee.
To counter/compliment this i would like to see a "hold ground" command. It would cause troops to hold until an enemy moved within so many squares.They would engage and then move back and hold again. Useful for guarding archers and commanders.

I am frustrated with the "attack rear" command. It never works the way I think it should. I think of rear as commanders and archers. But attack rear in practice just means they flank the first group of melee units, nearly worthless.

I would love to see a DO NOT CAST list. so often my own mages screw me. I would prefer they not cast gift of madness on my carfully arranged troops causing my archers/ spell casters to go nuts.
