So, in two games now, I've encountered problems with my flyers during a seige. What will happen is that the flyers, instead of flying over the wall and attacking accessible troops, will instead just fly to the back of any units clogged up at the gate and then just mill around like idiots.

I thought originally that this might be due to the morale/flanking interaction. But in a turn I just played, I had sacred, blessed demons who failed to fly over the wall (I think thier morale was like 15!). So I dont think its morale and there were no spells in play to prevent flight.

Has anyone else seen strange behavior like this?
IH,
I know the battle you speak of and wondered the same. That would have saved about 1000 of your bone fiends from wither bones. Though of course your Jags carried the day eventually.

Made me wonder if the ultimate choke point tactic for a castle being stormed would be to just stack center placed formations one after another (front to back) with the front guys on guard commander and the rear on attack closest for gate swarm. My flank units were worthless as is and should have been on holdx4 attack closest I think.
