Actually, no. Medieval combat centered arond the "armed mob" method. They
started out in big blocks, with the most loyal troops on the outside to
prevent the chickens from running. Then they just sort of moved towards
each other. Okay, there was a little more strategy to it, but not much.

WHFB is predominantly Napoleonic in its movement and combat from what I'm
given to understand.
