How to find the parent unit in REN?

[Xaver]

Usually a skirnish unit assaulted by non skirmish (except when cavalry charge, this means skirmish destruction) routed more times than stand to fight in disrupted status... even when assault skirmish damage sometimes more assaulter than defender.

In general skirmishers are to garrison villages, delay enemy attack forcing they waste a turn in assaults (if you dont have cavalry near to deal with them fast and bloody you need enter in block formation) and provide the range punch pike units lack.

Problem is more in regular fire units, they are less ussefull than skirmish because for that units fire means be fixed next turn at a range enemy block can melee them... maybe british archers have a chance to survive because have a great punch.
