Wedge Formation

[Kamakazi]

Hiding your Ghazis in the woods in wedge formation and having them emerge and hit the enemy in the flank is always a good strategy. I tend to switch back to line after the initial charge has ended.

using the woods i a good idea in most cases... on places with woods or hills wih woods i leave a bait unit out and use the troops in an alaxander type hammer and anvil move.

The wedge is really good like you said in those cases

Cav are higly powered anyway, normal formation is sufficient to flank.

Ah yes, but wedging can allow even your light cavalry to get the extra punch they need to route an engaged unit. Knights are fine in close formation, probably Mounted Sergeants too, but Steepe Cavalry and the like lack a little impact against aroured troops. Putting them into a wedge lets them do the damage they really need to. Driving a wedge of anything into someones back is always good, but getting some melee value out of your missile or light cavalry is great. Besides, if they have low defense, they're going to die fast anyway, may as well get some more kills from them and hopefully Rout the enemy faster.
