Heh. Looks like it's back on track over there now...they're back to the RotR weakness/strength discussion.

Fire and Flee can be used with a few cheap archers put way out front to draw the enemy into a gauntlet. Gets the enemy to concentrte fire and cavalry on a few fleeing units instead of the wall of Hvy Infantry doing hold&attack/closest with crossbowmen on each side of them

Fire and Flee got its uses. I use it when I massed a lot of archers in a high supply province and want to attack a into a wasteland or a bottleneck.

Also good for harrasing the enemy strongpoints if you got matching strengths in armies and noone wants to take the first blow. It's sort of a rare cirkumstances order but I'm glad it's there.
