And it's good for getting an idea of tactics and things not to do (Calvery vs well supported Pikeman, not a good idea.....) It can't replace plotting, but it's good for getting an idea of the types and effectness of the different units.

Ah, now I understand. Yes, *laughs* using cavalry against pikemen in the game (or in real life, of course) is an easy way to lose a battle.

Best of luck in planning your battle!

Well, if you are writing in first person, then your MC could be leading his patrol, and they get spotted and their only chance of survivial is to attack the enemy RIGHT NOW!!!. Or if you are using magic in your book, the MC could notice some big wig Muckety Muck casting some sort of spell, or summoning a demon, or something that provides to great of an opportunity to pass on. Thus kablowie thus death.
