I suppose if the leader of the column has CI to spare he can activate the skirmishers and get them to move simultaneously, but then he’s not able to use that CI for things like shock removal. And if the skirmishers also fire, they’ll lose any D6 contribution from their own NCO.
I see in the formations section the skirmish screen plus parent body is treated as a single formation, but this doesn’t seem to be expanded on elsewhere in the rules (that I can find). Can they all move on a single CI?
