Tactics
	Basic Tactics: allows you to rearrange your troops just before combat, within three hex rows of the commanding hero.
	Advanced Tactics: allows you to rearrange your troops just before combat, within five hex rows of the commanding hero.
	Expert Tactics: allows you to rearrange your troops just before combat, within seven hex rows of the commanding hero.

If your Tactics level is higher than your opponents, it enables you to arrange the hero's troops on the battlefield during the Tactics Phase. Usually this means either "Turtling" (protecting shooters behind strong non-shooter stacks), or "Blitzkrieging" (placing all troops forward and then casting Mass Haste or Mass Prayer on them).

During the tactics phase in autocombat mode, the computer is able to place large creatures one additional hex forward.

Recommended for: Any Hero who would find pre-battle placement of his armies useful (who wouldn't?).
