Break Down Battalions or No??

[Zemke]

Just wondering what the prevailing opinion is out there amoung experienced players. According to the manuel, battalions that fight as battalions take on less fatigue and thus hold their moral better, and when they do fire, get more kills. The down side is they cover less ground, can get isolated if used alone, more company units get more shots. With the few games I have logged, I have noticed that a lot of players tend to break their battalions down, more often than not. What are the thoughts of everyone out there on this?
