Approaching the enemy front line in a solid unit is important, but if you're charging the archers who are mowing you down, you might not be so concerned.

Holding a line is far more important for shock infantry than anything else. Possibly there should also be a distinction between skirmishers and regular units.
And I'd rather a crippled unit just be removed as if killed. No one loses the use of a leg and keeps fighting - that's just silly.
