Why am I bad in tactics?

How about this one? https://ufile.io/7ucne Perhaps I upload a wrong file.

Axalon knows how to download it and then play it. I don't. I did what you said, but I can't see it in the list of saved battles. Even if I did, I wouldn't be able to play it. Perhaps it should be placed to a different folder. And it is not a vrp file when unzipped.

Yes, that is not a vrp format. It is dat format which is for saved game so you need to copy the unziped file into savegames directory. It would be nice of you to upload your replay so I can see how do you play. It appears as "last quicksave" where you load your saved game. Thanks anyway.

By the way, how I can change the orientation of my units? I hold left button and drag but my units have their back toward enemy.

I once defeated a superior force by setting up my spear units (fSgts&cSgts) between buildings and stacking my whole crew inside that perimeter. The enemy couldn't get a good flank, must not be programmed to destroy buildings to gain an access, and their vastly superior ranged units mainly were soaked up by some trees and buildings.

It was like one of those easy mountain defense maps where the no access zones allow you to make a wall of spears and pepper them with almost every volley from your crossbows. They just run around until there is a field of bodies to fertilize my mountain crops.

Having a wall of spears definitely helps, but crossbows are obligatory in order to back up your numbers. In the case of 16 units in a single battle, you can very much play with the pause left unchecked but you have to have good overall awareness to make sure that your orders are followed.

And always micro manage cavalry.

I figure that out. It depends on the direction you drag the units, it should be left to right otherwise the units have opposite orientation.

That one still catches me out now and then...

Didn't work for me. The last quicksave I opened is MY LAST QUICKSAVE. All saved campaigns there are in cpg format. So I can't paly it.

That is fantastic. Could you please upload your replay so can see what you are doing?

I did not make any saves of that battle. However, I did some new battles, and I saved the best one I had. In this case, I was actively trying to keep the casualties down. Recording and battlescore attached to this post. Overall, it ultimately boils down to practice, practice, practice... Grasshopper...

As mentioned, the custom battle is an excellent way to hone your skill. You can fight 1 vs 1 to see the effectiveness of certain units against others; you can try units of various sizes to see if you are more comfortable with small unit sizes or large size; you can fight in different kinds of terrain to see the effects of hills/forest/weather; ...

This is a good suggestion... I would start with that...
