In my current Danish campaign I've been forced to use woodsmen, vikings and highland clansmen as my main army, with a few odds and ends and two units of spearmen. They are very effective but if I make a mistake they all end up dying...

Ambushes seem to be a facet of the game I've missed entirely so far. Does anyone know how close the ambush unit has to be to the target in order for the morale penalty to hit? Does the chance of being spotted increase as the enemy unit gets closer? Do soem units hide better than others?

I must now ambush the enemy until I have mastered this tactic also.

Units will be seen once the enemy is close enough. I am beginning to believe that units which can "hide in the open" do hide "better", ie the enemy has to be closer to see them than another unit just hiding in the woods, but this is based on a single observation in the heat of battle, and not tested rigourously.

Also am I the only one who has trouble making units hide? I mean sometimes in deployment I have to move a unit around a dozen or so times til I find an exact position where it successfully goes into hiding....

I have that very same problem; it's weird because sometimes units towards the front of the woodland seem to be better hid than those deeper in.
