Indeed. Move your army in small steps, and keep everything in formation. That is much, much more important than it is in M2TW or, to a lesser degree, though, RTW. Especially if you´re using units which gain a rank bonus, i.e. spears and pikes. And I suggest taking Frogbeasteggs Beginner Guide, and there the section on the battlefield, to heart. It helped me immensely when I started playing MTW. I still make the mistake to send in my knights prematurely, though.
