Can you provide some details on your setup please?
I dont keep very good notes but things I remember trying effectively were settings archers on the flanks.
For javelins/slingers/crossbows I think I had interesting results when I put a commander near the front for the moral boost. I had him on hold-and-fire or hold-and-attack, one of those. The low-range shooting units were set on guard-commander. The result was amazingly effective in that particular fight.
I often use guard commander for more control on units so that I can use the commanders instructions to decide at what point in the battle to do certain things. Such as holding cavalry or flyers around long enough to get blessed before attacking.
