Default Re: Commander on hold

Thanks Jim, that is closer to what I was looking for.

Max, what I was trying to say was that if I had a 40 man inf unit (with a seperate commander) set on hold and attack somewhat back from the front grids, he will take off on round 3 of the battle and move forward.

I was hoping that I could have some archers in another formation raining arrows down on the opponent as he was approching.

The Hold and attack unit would block the opposing units and the archers would still keep firing.

On turn 5 the 40 man Inf unit (with commander set on Hold,hold,hold,hold, attack closest) would slam into what was left of the opposing forces and rout them.

It was just an idea...

There just HAS to be more tactical strategy here than just fighting on a level plain with no hills, trees, ect. and everyone runs at each other (or doesn't).

But i have only watched about 30 battles so I am in no way sure of what to do.

So I thought I would pick your brains.

Thanks BTW!!!
