We are fighting "Waterlitz" again.

Sigh.

The way that I do that (i.e. protect a unit from assult) is to use
another detachment to protect it by being in front or mixed up in a
little. Before I get accussed of "cheap screening units" I didn't
1) make it part of the same detachment, and
2) Nobz ain't cheap units.

Remember it IS legal to intermix detachments (Page 111 Battle Book,
Option 'C' in the drawing).

Yes, your army should be a balanced mix mission army. Detachments
should not be.
