Erwin, I do agree it could be annoying and distracting from what's important, but from an immersion standpoint it bothers me (although it's certainly not a game breaker). If it were required to break off a scout team size unit every time one took prisoners, at least for a certain amount of time, I would feel better about it. At least then I could reconcile someone was watching the POWs. I'm 99% certain SBurke was joking about the invisible MPs. Again, this is far from being my first choice for a new feature. Perhaps someone could relate to me what the standard practice was. I realize it would be different between various times and armies. My understanding is pretty much every battalion had support troops that are not represented in the game. I don't believe however they would be right on the heels of the front line in most cases (except of course the medics).
