This guide is to assist the reader/player, this does not mean that all strategies or advice will not work for every one.
In this section the reader will learn what is flanking how to use it and how to prevent it
Flank by definition is military side of military formation: the left or right side of a military formation.
How does that effect your set up(formation) it will usually contain a knight or two, scout assassin or bmw (grey set) it should located as the definition stated to the left or right the reason on why these units are preferred is as listed
Knights have good blocking and pretty descent strength
Bmw has good range and strength but lacks armor and blocking they are usually used to destroy cleric/sacrifice after cleric is destroyed
Assassin can attack four units at once and has a special ability where is the assassin’s health is

Scout is considered by many the best unit in the game because it has a great range and quick recovery and versatile .
Now here’s the trick of a flank .deceive, encircle, destroy here is a short break down on each part
Deceive use a couple of units to attack the opponent while you mobilize your flanking units’
Encircle you can either lead your opponent in to your flank or move your units to attack
The fun part destroying the unit but there’s more to it then that be careful on your opponent’s unit movement while you are attacking the unit it would be a good idea to place your unit that just attack to where either side(left or right) is facing the enemy unit this way it cant be attack from the back from one of the opponent’s unit
Now if your on the receiving side of a flank here are some things to look out for
Is their scout making its way to your side of the field
Is there a bmw approaching
Is there one or more knights entering your formation
Here is a priority list of which units to destroy when be attacked by a flank
Scout- long range
Bmw- cleric killer
Knight-hard to destroy
Assassin

With this information I hope this will help you in flank, flanking formations
