Haha, I was actually looking down the list and not seeing it, I used the new replies to your post thing to find it, then realised it was a sticky.
Well, *hopefully* it will be easier to find. Some people might not ever read stickies, and in that case...
Standing on enemies spawn is definitely a bad idea. In that battle I had to keep my men back on my half of the battlefield and make strategic retreats to the baggage many times during the large battle. My men would get whittled down a bit and I'd be out of arrows, so I'd have everyone fall back to the start for the reinforcements and extra arrows. One really bad fight my men got completely surrounded and killed (thats where my 4 companions fell) and I had to run back to the baggage with only 2 surviving huscarls that managed to pull out following me.
It was fun, but it definitely makes M&B more difficult - no restocking arrows, no first aid HP restorations, and your heroes don't keep popping back up and helping more.
