What do you do with incoming reinforcements?

Curiously, I've found that keeping them in the rear and setting them to Guard Commander works best.

My approach is similar to that ofZen. If I think I'll need them then I try to deloy them with or slightly behind the corresponding troop type in the main army on the same orders otherwise rear zone hold and attackers.

IMO hold and attack troops in the rear zones generally (ie no assasins) do the job troops on guard commander would and they don't have the grevious fault of stopping your mages from running away when the battle is lost by remaining unbroken until to late.
