Anyone have any tips on how to manage your light infantry if used as a screen in front of your main line? Won't your main line of infantry and artillery shoot them in the back? Do you need to turn off fire at will for the main line while the light infantry are out in front?
I tried using them a little bit in this way last night, but I wasn't understanding their usefulness, so I moved them back to the flanks to provide some concealed support against flanking cavalry. (I'm playing my first Great Britain campaign. In my Prussia campaign, which I finally won, I rarely used light infantry.)
