Now that the military is equipping themselves and Marksdwarves shoot things, I'm running into new problems.

I order my marksdwarves to posts which look out fortifications to guard my fortress. Unfortunately, they're prone to standing nowhere near the station point (often up to 5 tiles away) and so can't see out to shoot. I've tried issuing them individual orders, but getting them to stand where they can actually shoot is still hit and miss. Does anyone have a decent solution for this, short of rebuilding all my fortifications to have 1-wide hallways?

Define a 1-tile-wide burrow right behind the fortification wall and order the squad to defend it.

try putting the point a little outside the wall, then they should stand as close as possible.

Or set a patroll instead of a station.
