I've been playing N:TW for about a month now,and one thing i've noticed is that in multiplayer,I always run out of time setting up.I usually deploy in a complex formation where I deploy 3 skirmishers in a line and one on each side at an angle to avoid being easily flanked.I then have my main body of line and elite infantry behind this,followed by my artillery and general.While this works fairly well during attrition battles with the AI,it takes too long to set up in multiplayer,often forcing me to fight with my skirmishers and artillery exposed,and my infantry wildly spread out.So,since Creative Assembly won't be coming up with a "Save Formation" option soon,does anybody have formation ideas that would be faster to set up but still effective in multiplayer?The formations don't necessarily have to be like this one.

Use the normal deployment. Skirms in front, line inf behind, cav on flanks, gen behind line inf, and arty either grouped together or on both wings.

When i say put light inf in fornt of line inf any cav charge would be suicide because they are faraway enough ot minimalise casualties form stray bullets, but the skirms are well within my linf infs ranged.
