The troops do not appear to attempt to reposition themselves. They just shoot across the battlefield.

The most interesting thing is that they will often even shoot clear across the battlefield when there are armored troops closer to them (yet not so close they'd hit each other).
What about move and shoot? Are you suggesting they should back off and fire? If you are suggesting this you have a skirmishing tactic that while desirable, at present is outside the AI's horizon.

Troops do close in to come into range.

Troops do not reaquire targets just because other are closer than their original target, perhaps they should, but they don't.
