My two cents.
Its not so bad when it comes to 5 man squads as they are already a 'small' enough target as is. But when you are dealing with large squads that are 15-20+, thats when they start becoming big juicy targets for template weapons and thats when you start taking casulities if you dont loosen up your formations. Also remember that not all template weapons scatter.. i.e. flamers?
