Basic Battle Tactics?

[Ironhawk]

Oh and about commanders: Usually you want to pack as many men as possible under a single commander with a lot of leadership. Since most of your commanders are mages with low leadership anyway this is the natural way of things. The only time you want to break this format is when your commanders are being assassinated. At that time, it is more valuable to put fewer men under more commanders to ensure that as many of them as possible arrive at the battlefield.
