Tactics for Newbies

[Gandalf Parker]

Hit-n-Run can be used in some cases. I like to use fire-and-flee if I have lots of indept nations with those horsebowmen in the same area. Small groups of them can harass an army slowing it up and breaking it up. Also if you use some PD they can be set to the flanks providing some good support with the fire-n-flee moving them back to do the same for the next province. The fire-n-flee setting is the one that scatters the units

Another hit-n-run would be stealth armies which can also be effective at slowing armies and also force your opponent to alter his strategies.

Both of these I would consider to be "tactics" and not "strategies". A strategy is something you build your battle plans around in hopes of winning the game. A tactic is something you keep in the tool box to use in small occasional cases to make a temporary dent in the other guys strategy.

Stealth as Helheim can be a strong strategy. I'm using it in a game, until a point where I can no longer use it for lack of target provinces since all what my opponent has left is the provinces with his big armies.
