I agree, and it has been discussed before on this forum some time ago.
I believe JMM showed some interest in introducing this at some stage but not a priority.
For those 'true Grognards'
who like to get into the Commander's saddle and experience a more authentic battlefield experience, it is a must.
Prior to the Battle of Eggmuhl, Napoleon got out his telescope, rested it on the shoulder of on of his Aides (he must have been short
) and observed the Austrian forces on the far side of the valley.
Like you said in a previous post, I too don't like comparing other games through sign of respect but SOWGB has some functions (including an effective magnified 'telescope' view) which bring the immersive feeling to a new level.
All in the pipeline, I'm sure
