YS vs. SA

[TheSmisker]

I recently tried out a few basic tactics. Me with 1 SA and 1 YS
enemy with 1YS and 1 YC

I kept beating the enemy when based on a hill, and now reversed, me with 1 YS, 1 YC enemy my former set-up He was based on small hill and I used my YC to lure away his YS so my YS could charge his archers. Now, I had lost about 5 men on the rush up to encounter, but his SA managed not only to hold ground but also rout my YS!
The heigt advantage couldn't be that high could it?
Why???

The hieght advantage is always a very important factor my friend!...A good high Position Gives YoU a bonus in ThE moral of your MeN, This Bonus is ThE difference between your MeN AnD your Enemy... BuT u CaN UsE it against your enemy ToO...many think that they ArE safe in a High HILL, well in the books of Sunt Tzu its named the FLOW, its says that u dont have to mantain a Formation but that u have to move your troops accord to the Terrain. Like a river goes with the way!... so if one enemy is on a hill u must try to go higher as him!... use the flanks ... if ur troops atack from Down use a FALSE FRONT...send units in a line... to contain the atack of the defenders... then send to the flanks the res of army but try to get higher as him!...
I hope it can help you... may be i ll post a new reply later with graphics so u can look it!...
have nice day...
