[Black Prince]

I have noticed in quite a few of Tim's AARs players are using Micro Commands with 4 or less units. Do these Micro Commands work effectively in game? How do you use them?

[Commodore]

Exemple :
medieval period, a corps with 3 knights and one light cavalry , commanded by an ordinary general
This corps is composed only by mounted troops, so and ordinary gen is sufficient, it could be also included, saving points. With a min of 2 PIP per tuen, you may always do something.
You can use it to :
-support a bigger knight corps, giving a strong numerical superiority on one wing
-cover the flank of an infantry line on your defensive wing
-act as a (semi) fast and manoeuvrable reserve corps if you have no plan and want to react to your opponent'one
-be place in ambush ( 4 bases per marker)
-be use in flank march, only reducing your cohesion level by 4 before its arrival

A micro command can be even smaller, 3 or even 2 units giving the extra units to other commands. Placed first near the center of the table, this can also be used to hide your intentions from the opponent.

Also handy for flank marches
