Ok here is a tactic (plus sub tactic) you might like or find useful ? although I have only tried it on S:TW. Please feel free to post your thoughts or crit.
Tactic : Hammer an Anvil
Step one.
Sub tactic: Gestalt Units.
As you can see from the screeny i have hidden an arquebusier unit inside a Naginata unit by using open/close ranks. This is useful when trying to disguise your numbers.
The naginata (strong defence unit) will be acting as my anvil
Step two.
As the enemy approaches the arquebusier unit breaks ranks revealing itself and attacks. This lures in my opponants towards the anvil. Also in the picture you can see, positioned to the right, a nodatchi unit (strong offensive) which will be acting as my hammer.
Step three.
If you havn't guessed already the arquebusier retire and the enemy crashes into the naginata unit like stormy waves on the rocky shore. Now the hammer moves into position to strike down sealing the enemy's fate.
Step four.
Death
So there you have it, Obviously i have scaled it down loads but if used on a grand scale, in most situations this is a great tactic.
For Extra Destructive power : Why not use two or more hammers to pummel waves of enemy attacks, (Just remember to keep your anvil re-trooped if they break the tactic is useless)
Thanks for taking the time to read this post, why not have a go yourself ?
