Perhaps its just the manner in which he posted his question which hasn't really encouraged people to post. The very first post that I made on this forum was quite similar titled, "Brilliant Military Tactics."

However, I asked in the context that it related to my fighting tactics in MTW as opposed to general knowledge. I came here with the Rome:Total War guide to fighting and that was form a single line, get a coffee and wait for the AI to kill itself which certainly won't happen in MTW.

I guess, Csar you could try and look for that post and read the great responses I got from people and you could also do what I did to supplement people's contributions and google names like Hannibal, Julius Caesar, Scipio Africanus and Alexander The Great. There is a lot of material out there that covers specific tactics and they actually work in MTW.

Best of luck!
