Tactics? I don't really use them in this game as I don't need to.
I usually just slap the line infantry in the centre as cannon fodder and try the old double envelopment. Not very imaginative but then again I don't have to be as I always outnumber the enemy in ETW anyway. The tactical game moves far too fast to do anything realistic. Most of the time (especially towards the late game) I outnumber the enemy so much I just use auto-resolve.
In previous titles I liked to "blitzkrieg" and pick a weak spot, ram the heavy cavalry through and flank while the infantry engages the front, which would usually result in fast annihilation but I haven't really found a way to do that in this game.
