You can still run assault squads. What you'll find is that 

a)An SMG or Shotgun is a MUCH better choice for weaponry than a sword, 
and

b)They end up rather messilly dead unless you supress the target.  
That's the basis of a lot of infantry tactics.	Supress, supress, 
supress, then run up an assault element around the flanks and into the 
objective to clear them out at point-blank range.

Another trick you can try (I've never done it, but it seems to make 
sense) is to split the experience levels.  Experience levels cover 
ranged combat, close combat, and morale.  A Warhammer-style assault 
squad may be regular, but would shoot as green troops and close combat 
as veterans.  This hasn't been playtested or anything, but you can try 
it out if you like.
