Fire by rank vs Platoon fire

[Fisherking]

I utterly hate Platoon Firing. If it has to be included in-game, I wish it were merely an option for the elite units to use in-battle. FbR is much more deadly.

Platoon fire should create a moral problem for the units receiving it…I don’t know that it does in game. It should also be just as deadly.

The whole point of platoon fire was that it was continuous and more accurately focused as the officers of each platoon directed it at the most likely targets. So, it ought to be more deadly and avoid the moral issues of troops being left with empty muskets and nobody covering them.
