I'd like to suggest a button (such as Force march ) that let your soldiers (only if engaged in battle), 'charge' at their opponent and the result should be an instant attack/defense round and following there would be battle resolve every half hour instead of hourly.
If you are "defender", your round would change to "attacker".
If you use the "charge" button you would receive a morale bust. (i don't know how much, but maybe it should based as a percentage of the defenders HP or attack/defend points)

What do you guys think?
Well, it's not a bad idea, but I guess melee combat is included in normal combat.

Well I'm not suggesting another type of attack, this is all about speeding up attacks, to avoid reinforcements, make blitz more realistic/fun. Nothing else really.
The morale bust should be big enough so that this is not something you'd wanna do everytime.
Well if the result is more casualties on your enemy's side because of this? Then I'd do it!
It doesn't sound like a good idea. You said earlier that when the charge function is used, the defenders would become attackers. Does this mean both sides would be attackers?

Well, it's not a bad idea, but I suggest that the attackers would take awully high casualties, meaning you'd need to outnumber your enemy at least 3 to 1 for the tactic to be successful.

quasi what I meant was, that if you are defender and use charge you will become attacker
yes, you'd have to outnumber for it to be useful, it's simply a matter of being able to (PERHAPS) end the battle before reinforcements can arrive.
Basically in WW1 "charging" or rushing againts an enemy fortified position is downright suicidal, the japs did it (for some reason) and when WW2 came it's better to fight behind bunkers and gun nest than charge againts a wave of tanks using katanas.
Granted if it's purpose is to hasten the combat rounds, but it gives a LOT of disadvantage such as:
-if the enemy counter attack and your stuck with fanatics who prefer using knifes than a tank
-getting outnumbered after
-lost of numbers
-lost of morale (if sane, I mean who charge in front of a machine gun?)
-getting outmanouver
-risk of opening the flank and backline
-I'm pretty sure the enemy is laughing right now.
-some units are WAYS more powerful in the defense than changing to "attacker" (infantry, AA gun, AT gun, Arty and any unit with higher def stat than Atk stat.)
realistically charging at the enemy can get you killed instead of "approaching" the enemy as in move from cover to cover.
But seriously who the heck runs in front of a machine gun? Better yet who ditch the machine gun and fights with fists? This is war people.

Well the advantage would be to end the battle in a province before the defender can reinforce the position.
Just saying it could be useful and an interesting feature
Making the battle short is not bad per se, it's how we do it. I'm alright shortening the combat time but I disagree we have to pay for it, my units included.

you can't shorten combat time........ and I don't think it should be a gold feature, but a feature like forced march
) that let your soldiers (only if engaged in battle), 'charge' at their opponent and the result should be an instant attack/defense round and following there would be battle resolve every half hour instead of hourly.
