A couple of playing hints (paladin).

I am using a fighter and have a similar strategy which seems to be working quite well.

I currently have the frog wife, snake boots and the upgraded snake helmet, so snakes for me are very good units. I move my stack of royal snakes ( who nearly always go first) half way accross the board, then cast phantom on them. The phantom snake stack them goes in front of the original and can reach any of the units on the other side. Because of my buffs it can do a fair bit of damage and because its a phantom i dont mind how much of a beating it takes.
