Im playing as Rhodok (they DONT suck..) anyway i use that tactics as PerXX just told us. put the archers ontop of a hilld get your infantry 10 paces forward and go with a 2-handed wepon.
as im mostly fighting the Kreight khante (or how you spell it) i use a War axe and aim for the horses legs wich will make them ..die and throw of the soldier, that way you can leave those to your infantry and keep aiming for horses, making the riders forced to fight on ground. and then just let your Nord infatry chop them to peices works great.
2 handed axes are also great for defending a Fortress. when you start defending it it will often take som time for the seigetower to get to the wall and during that time you can just throw away any ammo you got at the enemie. but the when the tower finaly get's to the wall you can stand on one of the "flanks" of the "bridge thing" just randomly bash into the aproaching crowd killing countless enemies. a great work. defended my own castle with 45 men against 225, no one survived of the attackers...
