well folks, here you can post you winning strategies if you like to share, below are two of my well balanced all round strats
i usually when picking armies tend to figure out what my base type unit is going to be, for me at the moment i pick between either a spear based army, or a MAA based army.
for my spear based army, for which i use more in defensive games, i tend to pick fuedal sergents and pump them up to valour four, with four units of these guys, you can hold, and even break the enemy center for a decent price. Then, depending on my florins i build the rest of my army. I usully take 2-3 units of FMAA to sit behind this line, and one the flanks, in a formation that is 2 ranks deep, these are great flanking units, and are tough to beat when being flanked by them. After these, i see how much money i have left. I usually take 3 units of arbs into the field in 1v1, and then if florins spareing, i take a unit or two of halbreds to place on my far flank. My general is usually a regiment of Mounted Fuedal Sergeants, acompanied by Alan merc.
how to use this army. Try to hold the center of your line with the valour 4 sergeants, then bring your FMAA around on the far flanks, with your other halbred units on the flanks guarding them from a cav charge. You then hold the line with your arbs firing our front, until they flee from the enemy, then with your sergeants, hold the line and bring your MAA into the enemies rear and flank. Protect your MAA with the hlabreds, and you should soon have the battle heading you way. Save your Cav for pesky archers, and to counter manouver against thier Cav.
well thats the spear army setup
now for the MAA setup
basically, this is where you take 4 units of valour 4 FMAA, and 4 units of Chiv sergeants Valour 3, 2-4 units of cavalry (mounted sergeants and alan merc), 2 units of arbs (to give your armies distance and so you dont get peppered to bits) and maybe one or two units of FFK. The idea is to have the Chiv Segeants to hold the center again, but have on your flanks 2 units of FMAA on each, in a line 2 men deep. Keep your cav ready to counter thier cav on your flanks, and then you advance on the enemy. I tend to hope for my enemy to make a bad move, then chrage, but it can be done however you like, but the idea is to have your chiv sergeants in a WIDE line to hold up most of thier units, while you smash thier flanks to bits with the MAA. The FFK are there in your center out of combat incase you can find a hole, or if you need to protect fleeing units. an alternative is to have all your MAA at one flank, and just drive it into the ground with the wieghted flank idea.
