Learning curve or Am I just that stupid?

[Jolly Roger]

Gentlemen,

in case you issue this order, your troops will hold the ground, but they don´t fight, just block !! A good defensive position depends on terrain, place your troops on higher ground. Send out light Infantry, don´t forget to place "skirmish" as last order. Archers, that have not moved can fire with high accuracy at long range, very dangerous for unshielded troops. Make sure to form a "wedge" before you engage the enemy, in case the specific unit is eligible to change to this formation. If not choose "Line formation". NEVER engage the enemy in column formation, this is a formation for marching !

Cheers, Klaus
