Default Re: Micromanaging armies and commanders

Putting some units on Guard Commander did make them an effective reserve when I then used the commander orders to indirectly control them.

One disappointment though was when I put a mounted commander on the flank with my cavalry. He had a Stay Behind Troops order and I assumed he would stay behind the closest troops, i.e. the cavalry directly in front of him. Nope, he immediately moved away toward the larger force in the middle. Guess I should have given the cavalry group a Guard Commander order and then told the mounted commander to attack. Will have to see if that works.

Take care Gandalf, there is a lot of flu going around already this year.
