Interesting discussion on the cavalry and skirmishers. Personally the only reason I break the cavalry into squadrons if if they are actually scouting and to help speed up recovery from disruption. If you melee with the full battalion then you've lost the ability to charge until that battalion undisrupts. If you have them broken down into squadrons then you can use they you can use the ones that undisrupt while waiting on the ones that don't. I think a better rule for the skirmishers would be that a line battalion could melee them but instead of costing all of its movement points it would only cost a few and casualties are checked normally. Going that route the skirmishers would serve to slow down the line battalions a bit but not totally which is what I would think would be more historical.
