Skirmishers vs. Artillery

Here we solicit numbers from members concerning anything regarding historical numbers that affect a Civil War simulation: hit rates, rates of fire, casualty rates, movement rates, you name it. The idea is that we're really trying to get the numbers for the game right.

I commented on this a few months ago, i ordered a regiment into skirmish formation and had them sniping at a battery.

BOOM - FIZZLE - no regiment left.

Skrimishers would be under cover, kneeling, lying etc and spread out. They should definetly receive far less damage than a regiment in formation, no matter how close they were to the battery.
