All the same, I think it is worthwhile to point out here that MTW-tactics are rarely static or universal (despite all things, including my usual criticisms on raw MTW and its over-standardized designs etc. etc.) - its (still) typically shifting and specific to circumstances. Ever shifting from battle to battle, even with the different stages within any given battle AND also dictated by the troops actually deployed in that battle (enemies and friendlies alike). It is knowing your troops/units and what you can actually expect out of them. Knowing what is basically their breaking-point... Knowing your enemy and what you can expect from them. Its basically stuff you can neither fake or cheat your way through, as it is essentially a skill earned by experience more then anything else. Sure, various solid doctrines, some healthy principles and sound general advice helps, no doubt - but - it will never compensate for plain old experience. Experience is king, and its that more then anything that makes a skilled commander/player in MTW, or so I believe...
That said, if you could more closely specify what you actually had in mind, I’m sure people here could cook up
some solid answers and advice for you on that note... Or to discuss any specifics in greater detail, if so desired...
