What's the advantage of the infantry column formation in the Napoleonic Wars? @T.E.D. thanks for the great answer. Another question though, wouldn't the morale thing work both ways? I mean, being in the front rank of an advancing column means almost certain death too, isn't it? The enemy line, and possibly neighboring lines, artillery and skirmishers all only have you to shoot. How did they manage the morale then?
