Deployment Strategy
Deploy Vanguards to choke points and high-value objectives. They excel at absorbing initial enemy volleys, allowing your fragile ranged units to maneuver into flanking positions. Never leave them exposed on flat terrain without cover; force engagements in urban grids or dense forests to maximize their melee advantage.
