Hold and Fire?

[Illuminated One]

This has bugged me for a while also.
I don't think there is.
Maybe if you set them to guard a commander with a missile weapon but I doubt it.

I think If you put them to Guard Commander and put them on the top about 1/2 way to the front and the commander on the bottom in the cornor they will run down to the commander (which takes a couple of rounds.

Not really sure what happens after that (if they will turn and fire if someone gets close.

I use that with Fomoria Kings alot when I don't want troops fighting quickly.
