Default Re: Micromanaging armies and commanders

Attack rearmost does not automatrically attack the rearmost, intentionally so. There is a chance that a unit with "attack rearmost" will try to attack the very rearmost, if that chance 'fails' it will try for the second rearmost and so on. This means that if the opponent only has a single unit in the rear and all the rest in the front there is a very real possibility that he will be ignored. On the other hand if they do choose the single unit hiding in the rear he will be without bodyguard or other units helping him out. This means that it might also be a good idea to put a few units on hold behind important commanders as a sort of rearguard.
