Forgive me if I say something dumb. I'm incredibly sick and have a massive headache to boot.

[quote]Order your men in combat by filling in 'lines'. You may have any number of men in each line, and as many lines as you wish. When building your attack squad, remember that outside of feats that say otherwise, units will attack the first enemy they come into contact with and deal attacks and damage simultaneously.[/quote]

So, let's say I know my warband is gonna be larger than the enemies I'm facing. Let's also say I want to envelop them and hit from all sides. Example:

[color=2E2C2C]00[/color][color=orange]00[/color][color=2E2C2C]00[/color][color=orange]00[/color][color=2E2C2C]00[/color]
[color=2E2C2C]00[/color][color=lightblue]000000[/color][color=2E2C2C]00[/color]
[color=lightblue]0[/color][color=2E2C2C]00000000[/color][color=lightblue]0[/color]

[color=2E2C2C]000[/color][color=red]0000[/color]

Where blue = melee fighters, orange = archers or mages, and red = the enemy? This way when the enemy gets hit in melee, they quickly get surrounded by the melee fighters.
