Read on these forums that the smoke created by powder weapons made the ranges on a lot of these era firearms worthless. So after a few volleys you got in pretty close to shoot or you probably wouldn't see or hit anything. Is that actually true?
Also since I read Badge of Courage(untrained men, run) and have read here I believe grouping men up into the tight easy to Canister groupings they did to keep discipline, to issue orders, to keep pretty much what is in game cohesion is why they were sitting ducks. Our modern training allows incredibly independent fighting formations, very flexible. Why didn't anyone ever practice this is large quantity in the Civil War?
