When will be possible put a INF in square formation in PBEM?

[Alfiere]

If I am not wrong , if still not possible put a INF in square formation in PBEM with red hat.
Should be very useful when play my experimental campaign of Ratisbone.
Perhaps in some future patches?

hummm... I have to take a look at this order! Possible we can't change the formation in PBEM!

Thank for reply.
I do not know well , which is the correct method.
If I before must detach unit and then change formation.
Or I must change formation and wait next turn.
I tried but not succeed to change INF in square formation in PBEM.
While work well in Solo Mode and at once.

An unit is detached after sending an order.. but no after changing the formation.

In fact, I thing the formation can't be changed by the player during PBEM mode.
This kind of order (formation) isn't saved... just applied when the request is done. So, this runs fine in Solo or MP mode.

This is only way  that i had found (simulation in Solo Mode ) to avoid that symbolic corp (INF units) cannot fight each other, only for movements and scouts (discover other enemy, symbolic corp) to simulate a little campaign.
I tried to create OOB with only CC ,but is not possible movements without units.
Ok, good to know.

I never use square butom because infantry allways automaticaly change formation when cavalry is close, and i never see that cavalry attack square or infantry in any formation, only runing infantry without any fighting, i think JMM must change this situation.

This only to play a campaign safe.
Only for movements and scouts to decide if is time to play a battle with another PBEM or MP.
If INF is in square formation with red hat (no AI) do not fight with enemy also if enough close.
For now is possible only in Solo Mode .
