Any tips for using flying units in combat?

Mammoths and wingless are decent. The only problem with caelains is the size which means they can get ganged up on and dont really deliver much punch.

However on the positive side caelums flying scouts are great and there flying A2 mages are to die for...

Theres a use for caelums lightning resist flying warriors, guard commander on your mages who do the real army killing. Not that they really need it with mistform/mirror image.

Flying A2 mages? You have it all wrong. Its the flying A3 thunderstriking mages that are to die for

Mistform, mirror image, flight, attack one turn, shockwave cast spells...oh joy!

Add cheap equipment as needed, like copper plate.

That's great, thanks all. Lots of things I hadn't considered before, now to try them out!

I've been playing Caelum in one MP game for a while, and to be honest, I haven't found much use for the flying infantry. I use a combination of Mammoths and Blizzard Warriors (archers) which is pretty devastating against independents - and against other players in larger numbers. I'm thinking about using Raptor clan warriors for hit-and-run attacks sometime soon.
