...missing a 'hold & fire' in the tatic options? There are the 'hold & attack' but when I'm playing with the C'tis Slingers I need an option that says wait 2 turns before firing.

Errh... Why? Couldn't you just deploy them further into the back of the battlefield? I would rather have a "Fire & Hold" command to cut down on the casualities in friendly ranks.

You can assign them to guard a commander, then have the commander hold for 2 then charge.

Ummm... Wouldn't that mean that his C'Tis Slingers would run right into melee Mr Parker? Too bad bodyguards don't use missile weapons.

The problem is that the slingers don't got archers range when firing so if I want to hold back my troops while the enemy charges I don't want my slingers wandering into a suicide mission.
I don't see the problem with C'tis slingers firing while my troops engage the enemies, the C'tis troops got a good poison resistance while my shamans heals those unfortunate troops from the rear. But I can see the point when you are playing another race with archers and slings.
