Battlefield Terrain Tactics
A good tactician should study the map carefully, before engaging an
opponent in a major battle. Below is a list of key features that may appear on a map, which should be noted when
examining a map.
The High Ground
A good general will more often than not position units on high ground,
to give a longer field of fire to infantry and artillery and make an assault
harder for enemy troops.

|
Rivers and Steams
Placing troops behind rivers and streams will make an assault harder
for the enemy, if they are forced to ford a river or stream. Also artillery and concentrated infantry can lie in
wait, for such an attack at the fording points.
|
|
Towns and Buildings
Placing troops next to or inside buildings can give them a boost to moral
and can seriously hinder an enemy attack.
|
|
Trees and Woods
Thick woodland and bushes can be used to set up ambushes using various
units, and can also hinder a formation of unit's movement.
