Tactics for Newbies

[LDiCesare]

I've used hit and run tactics a lot with an oracle against well targetted Ashdod armies:
Oracle in the back. Magic duel * 3 + returning.
Kill 3 adonim every turn. Very effective. I still lost the game, but was I a pain.

Hit and run strategies are feasible with some armies, namely stealthy armies like Helheim's. Taken out all the provinces of an opponent where there wasn't an army. Then run and hide after pumping taxes to 200. If you don't need to run for lack of neighbour, you may even pillage for a change.
