Tactics Questions - Line and Column, Stacked or Not Stacked

[Nortan]

Maybe this gives a bit more knowledge about columns:

Thanks! I think this is exactly what I am looking for.

I agree with what was said above.

But there is one more benefition from stacking lines(in phases or standart) - If you draw your line with only one battalion per hex it would be much easier to break units if the enemy attacks you with stacked columns(and would cause you more losses). After that - your battalions would become routed(which very dangerous for the whole line). But if you would stack your lines - it would be harder for the opponent to move your troops from their hex even if your "second line" couldnt shoot.
