Tactics - Traversing your Lines (1)
Examine the map. The infantry unit in the east is planing to move to the left flank and intends doing so in row 19 (see solid arrow). If one of the front-line infantry units is either skirmishing or is forced to retreat one square in the face of enemy fire or attack, it will block the path of the infantry unit, force it to halt and incur fatigue for running into a friendly unit.

Since infantry units have 10 tactical moves per turn, it would have been better to pass the infantry unit to the left flank in row 20, avoiding any retreating units (see dotted arrow).
