Be sure to get the latest patches and use the optional rule that calls for full defensive fire before melee. This will fire your units at full strength at units committed to melee them. This helps quite a bit in my opinion. Secondly it is important to rotate units in the line trying to keep fresh undisrupted units in place as they have a greater chance of defensively firing as units move to attack them. I've generally found that putting guns in the front line is not beneficial. Better to find them some ground behind your infantry where they can fire over their heads but be safe from melee. Also, be sure to keep a reserve to plug gaps as they occur but that is common to the TS games also.
