You know your army is in trouble when...

Ah, very interesting. I didn't think it would have any use at all, but I see now that a defensive role would best suit.

I also (ahem) may have forgotten (or never known) that an assault with multiple units does so at the lowest unit morale. I usually chucked them in there on the principle that the more the merrier, but I see that may have been the wrong approach.
