I tested this in the latest release (1.00.18) and you are correct, the line abreast command is being ignored by the game. I'll bring this to the attention NWS test team. |

This is not just for Line Abreast. If a division was under the AI control, you manually control them and want to go from Line Abreast to Line Ahead, the division will simply refuse to do so. After a few ticks, it reverts to Line Abreast without ever attempting to form Line Ahead in the first place. The only workaround is to put them into Support mode, select Line Ahead and then give it back over to the AI control until it has reformed into Line Ahead. Only then can you take it back from the AI with the ships in Line Ahead formation.
It's been a bug that has been persisted since RTW2 though, so I assume that you are aware of that already. Part of the reason why I put everything but one division into Support role until reaching the missile age.

This old bug can be worked around by manually engaging/disengaging turn together when you issue line ahead/line abreast order.
