With Assaults being much less common in v3, what’s the argument against using a Snap To order to allows 2 squads to assault simultaneously?

Looking for help/direction with this.  Certain scenarios state that no units are deployed on the board at the start of he game. I believe I saw somewhere (this forum, FAQ, other forums) that this does NOT apply to Forward Deployers. Can someone please confirm or deny that?

Where is this rule located? I’ve been scouring the Clash of Eagles book & can’t find it.  Thanks.

Are there any good podcasts about Napoleonic Wargaming – a Napoleonic version of SNAFU or Cast Dice?

I’m driving myself crazy trying to find this in the rules: what effect (other than having to pass on Order test) do Pin markers have on indirect fire units (spotters and/or the weapon firing); are there any negative “To Hit” modifiers?
