Additional formations

[Hancock the Superb]

I would like to see some formations in the new game:

Skirmishers that are put to good use, ones that have good aim, don't retreat from an enemy 100 yards away (pointless) and have better coverage due to their distance apart.

So:

Regimental skirmishers - regiment is in a line behind some thirty skirmishers that actually provide a good warning and stuff. These will automatically retreat into their own line after the enemy comes within 50 yards.

Brigade skirmishers - some 100 men out in front of the brigade in skirmish formation, and when the enemy hits within 50 yards of those skirmishers, they automatically retreat into their own lines

Division skirmishers - 1 regiment leads the division as skirmishers.

Road column - on a wide road, have them march in columns of 10, not three.

I'm sure there will be others that come to mind.

Yep, skirmishers in TC2M are just about useless. I gave up on that formation.

The only thing they are good for is moving troops around VERY quickly: they have the fastest footspeed.
