Vanya offers an extension of this idea...

Vanya sez... Youz setup your army nicely during deployment phase... It would be nice if you could choose to "remember" the unit alignment. Then, later in the game, in addition to having the "join the general in prayers" idea already floated, you could ALSO have the option to redeploy your units into their original formation at the start of the battle, only the general's position is the anchor, and all other units setup relative to their leader.

That would be more like a "line up to face next wave" type thing.

Now, even if that proved to be beyond what the devs can deliver, at least be able to redeploy in one of the standard army formations anchored at the general's current position.

But, after all things are said and done, just selecting all units and double-clicking on the reinforcements as they come in (SP) or on the next enemy at large (MP) will clearly do the trick... just remember to keep your units in wedgie formation...
