In sharp practice 2, is uncontrolled fire limited to formations of 2+ groups, or can an individual group experience uncontrolled fire? |

From the 2FL Forum: Controlled/uncontrolled is only for Formations of 2 or more groups, and only troops which have the 'controlled fire' attribute can do controlled fire when in such formations. Single groups (including skirmishers) can stop firing at will. Some skirmish troops (e.g. Napoleonic light infantry and riflemen) can form up and use formations, and some of them (e.g. early French Voltigeurs) can fire a controlled volley when formed up, but only as a first volley.
I guess there might be skirmish troops which can also form up and fire controlled volleys, but I've not seen any in the lists in the rule book. |

So a single group cannot have controlled fire either. This would make "present" only something that formations can do, right? |

Never mind, just found the section that clarified this in the rules. Thanks for the help! |
