Any tips for not getting my poo poo comprehensively pushed in by Bretonnia? Their knights just marmalise me every time, by a ratio of like 6:1. I've only just got access to knights - and I have that one unit of Reiksguard I've been carefully preserving since the start - nothing that can compete with 300 of the bastards stamping all over my lovely spearmen.

Checkerboard with rifles -- your units are thick enough to brace most charges so spears can do work, and rifles pretty much melt their knights.

Also consider upgrading from men with pointy sticks to men with sticks that have a sweet can opener attachment (Halberds).

Make sure your spears are braced (not moving) when they get charged.

Ta. Sounds like I need to junk some of these older units and spend a bit more on their replacements. They were ploughing through orcs with no difficulty, but I guess poo poo is getting real now.

Select everyone you want to march in formation and press Control + G. It'll force them to maintain formation when moving.

This should be added to the FAQs in the OP. I don't remember the game even mentioning it.
