Re: Attack Order: Attack Rearmost Enemies
Interesting. I haven't looked at the morale angle, but have found placing flanking squads to the front and side helps increase penetration toward the rear... but I haven't seen a similar benefit from flyers.

Re: Attack Order: Attack Rearmost Enemies
It also depends on a units "view". If you use the page-down to lower your view to their level then you might get an idea of it. I like to set some knights very far to the side and on "hold and attack rearmost". That way the main attackers have moved way forward before my guys choose their rearmost viewable enemy to attack.
Also, you can use a commander way off to the side to "hold, hold, hold, hold, hold, attach rearmost" and then have a squad of units set to guard that commander.

Re: Attack Order: Attack Rearmost Enemies
Gandalf, with a commander and his guards attacking the rear, are the guards considered to be charging when they attack ? Or do they simply fight off the enemy near the commander ?
It's important for knights and the like - well, most cavalry/lizards riders

Re: Attack Order: Attack Rearmost Enemies
AFAIK, lance bonus isn't "extra damage when charging". It's "extra damage on the first hit".

Re: Attack Order: Attack Rearmost Enemies
Or perhaps "first attack." I've noticed charging being more effective for units with high attack, and I think if they miss the first time they don't get the bonus on the second attack even if it hits.
