...a simple DBA could be to small. But using the big battle version it is a bit tricky. Both armies use 36 elements. You have to try to fight withe a larger part of your army against a smaler part of the oponents army. But it is the same you have to know the strensh and weaknes of both armies. And you have to know the best plase for your wekest troops and try to desroy your oponens weakest troops but faster then he try to do the same...

Concerning flank attacks I made an interesting observation.
There are some DBA generals who seem to forget in the midst of battle that they still have another wing.
If I form a strong wing and send it into battle, they try to hold their attacked wing nearly desperately, and spend all their PIPs there, feeding in single supporting units piecemeal.
And their other wing remains immobile like statues...

Spent afternoon playing warmaster with a group of chums, never got into it previously. All four 1K games came to a conclusion when cavalry units started hitting flanks and getting over run / pursuits. Cav is very scary on the flank in warmaster.

And their other wing remains immobile like statues... The Psiloi sideshow, yes, so many possibilities here! Think of their valuable qualities: ▪︎ no overlap: Ps don't get a –1 from overlaps ▪︎ they are nearly invincible ▪︎ they may advance, recoil and flee through any friends ▪︎ your mounted may advance through them So they can stabilize your line against more units. They can only be killed by mounted in GG or in CC vs. Ax, Bw, Ps. So they are best against the rest and may lure them away. They may buy precious time to form an overweight or flanking movement on the other wing etc.
