Hmm, I hear you about friendly fire but I just have not seen it with this setup. I mean I water 9 and Nature 4 my knight engage closes and crossbows firing rear or archer and both set diagonally opposite each other and with only 5 knights that can hold whole units of infantry they almost never get hit. Yes Air 9 is good and would work just the same. But I am just not taking any significant friendly fire. Remember I just said this worked really well to mop up indies at 5-6 level. Late game might be different.
