A few bless and other questions

For blade wind, Air Shield, or the Air bless helps as would Arrow Fend.

Storm, or the other battlefield spells that lower precision, help, but not much since there are so many missiles and it generally targets large groups. Lower precision doesn't usually matter much.

Isnt there also some benefit in braking up large groups?
I know its a pain in the micro-management but for important fights I will look for commanders that have some of their 5 squad-slots free, then break up front-line troops and archer groups into smaller groups then space them out. It SEEMS to help as far as avoiding area affect attacks but Im not much of a tester so Im not positive when it does or doesnt help.

A stacked storm and mist typically help a great deal, as the arrows shoot all over the map- or, in one interesting case, caused the enemy archers to advance into charging range just to be able to fire at my troops.

Doesn't Strorm effects cause 50% of projectiles to be lost all together, as the manual states? IF so, combined with half Precisicion I'd say its a pretty good deal.
