We did a simple fix for this problem. If a column is disordered by fire, it *must* deploy into line.If there's not room, then the blocking units also become disordered.Very soon you discover why this didn't happen historically; you end up with a bunch of disordered lines milling about in each others' way.
That's nice, simple and elegant.

not Lasalle, you move faster but shoot half and hit like a line
