    And vise versa- a Union flag could run up and capture a Confederate unit!

    I wouldn't say that a person going to a war with very high casualties and without "competent" medics is ever a coward... And then not even bringing a weapon! I'd say that the flag bearer is a hero.

    The flag bearer was one of the most honored positions to fill even if it meant certain death in battle.

    Sure, I agree, but that's tangential to what my point was. Basically, the flagbearer will need to stay alive and not take risks. It's no use to have a flagbearer charge the enemy team and keep getting himself killed, and he should hide behind his line of meatshields- I mean, men.

    I am also affraid, that the role of flagbearer will be exploited. Hiding inside buildings, staying behind unit in safety seems the most effective tactic. But we will see...

    You won't be able to spawn on the flag if its bearer is out of line. If it is skirmishing you will be spawning way slower on it than if it was in formation.

    Excellent The 'men' can cover the flagbearer of things get worse he can take cover (but be in skirmish).

    Having a chance to be a flagbearer was an honor and requires bravery and discipline (as Saris already stated).
    However we'll see how that goes in practice here where a random person with a flag will just run up to enemy lines (like Bivoj said)... for glory off course ... or a nice little chat (parlez).

    Think with Trusty's 'post' it will be hard to just exploit the 'flagbearer' like coming behind enemy lines and just spawn people in, also being a troll and standing between enemies just to get reinforcements shot wouldn't work (trust me I've seen it in other games).
    I write for my personal account and from personal experience, unless stated otherwise.

    That may work. Looking forward to experience it ingame...
