"Attack Rearmost"

[PvK]

PrinzMegahertz mentioned a helpful technique, which is sending multiple squads on Attack Rearmost. The first one or two may get distracted, but later ones may manage to get around (or not). I think I have a 60% or so success rate unbalancing the enemy, if not in catching the enemy mages and commanders alone (which would stink if it were too easy to do anyway, IMO).

Whole units of fliers work even better than ground-based flankers. Yes, sometimes some of them don't arrive at the farthest rearmost units, but again, the unpredictability is, I think, a good thing. Especially against AI and Independents, this could easily become way too good, and it's already quite good. Making the Attack Rearmost more effective would create a dire need for more effective defensive AI, creating a lot of work for Illwinter to solve a problem that isn't currently there. Seems to be it'd be better to live with the abstraction and uncertainty.
