I tried a tactic in the NADBAG Open 2.2 tournament at Recruits in Lee's Summit, MO.
I picked a low aggression army with lots of LH (II/58 Alan), and placed a large woods in the center of the board. Opponents set up on both sides to prevent my LH from getting to their camp. No matter how they pushed, they had to either leave their camp with too little defense, or separate their army. I found fighting in a "donut" of good going was much easier than a wide open field. The speed of LH was much more apparent when Kn could be stranded on the other side of the battle in a turn.
I chose a LH general because I think the +1 to them is more powerful for them combined with the quick kills. Plus my general was able to keep up with my army anywhere they struck. I've had great success with splitting the battlefield with something to break the generals command distance. I think it's overlooked far too often. Troops that can make additional moves (LH, or Ps) or troops that don't require many pips to engage (Bw, WWg, Art) seem to work well.
I didn't win every match, but I did well enough to win with 3-1.
