Some interesting ideas there..... but I would make flank attacks more
effective than just 1 downshift. If you think about it, it's a lot
easier
for a unit to simply about face and engage an enemy to the rear, than it
is
to wheel the whole unit through 90 degrees to face an attack from the
flank. Realistically, only the sub unit on the flank being attacked is
going to be at all effective, if that. More likely they will decide
discretion is the better part of valour and run away. Time for a morale
check then?

Hope that helps
