In my case yes as they are an indicator of unit status.

Silly question ... but do the casualties move with the units?

Depends:

if it's being used as a unit status marker [disorder/disruption/combat loss] then yes

if it's being used as a marker for the location of the action/wreckage/medical evac requirement then no [except that medical evac probably moves the casualty]

What ?

The one that walks in front of your car, to warn people that you're approaching ?

No, one that stands behind with a smallish flag. TBH I can't remember the entire scheme bit it's something like:

  • Brown - pinned/stalled (hit the earth)
  • Yellow - broken (scardy cats)
  • Green - wavering / disorganised (raw)
  • Red - uncontrolled charge (does that really need explaining?)

Again, I think the idea came from someone on the forum.

We use grey or black smoke in Black Powder games to represent disorder. Then the casualty marker for the number of hits, normally 1 to 3 - much nicer than a small die (no pun intended).
