Ive ran into two major issues that other people can seem to do over and over but I cant. First is, getting my units to shoot while reforming. I just had a battle where my entire force was wiped out because they kept reforming instead of shooting at the guys shooting them. While my opponent had his guys in a giant cluster forming a line, the second a guy reached his position he started firing.

My second major issue is with the maps where its a giant hill in the middle. I don't know what it is, but i can never seem to get my guys on that hill before the enemy does. Then my guys won't shoot back at the enemy but the enemy shoots them to shreds. Is it some sort of elevation difference or something?
