That whole issue needs to be quantified. A number of people have noticed that fire is less effective while units are moving, but by how much? Finding that out will require some bother. A big factor in that problem is: When a unit skirmishes away, it skirmishes a long way. I've found I get much better results when I hit "halt" when they're far enough away to be safe. They spend more time shooting that way and less running.Further, I can also confirm that my gunners were far, far less accurate while moving. In summary, 2 line formation seems to elicit the best kill rates.
