help needed with skirmishers
A while ago we had a go at Hubbardton. During the game a couple of things came up reguarding skirmishers. I would be greatful far any help. 1) woud the 24 pickets be better divided into two wings as we found this a very large unit? 2) if one end of the line of pickets are attacked by other skirmishers dose the whole unit count as fighting and if attacked by formed infantry dose the whole unit evade if they can? 3)If skirmishers are not in base to base contact with each other ie. 1 or 2 inches between bases, do the minus modifiers still count if the enemy target formed troops behind them? If so when dose the skirmish line become ineffective? 4)If stands from a skirmisher unit are dotted around how dose this affect the unit receiving orders? many thanks mick
