You really need rules for line cutting. This could be done by mapping
the
line, but there has to be a possibility that a squad can traipse over a
line
without ever knowing it's there. Some sort of abstract system would be
best
for players without a referee.

You also need rules for "runners". I have some bare bones rules for
runners in
_Hardtack_. Basically, a command squad can transfer an action within his
command by sending an independent figure with the extra action. It
certainly
makes platoon leaders stay closer to the action!
