Battle Formation Guide
Version 1.1
-----------
-added which positions/weapons are involved in each group attack
-tried to improve some translations
If you've played the game then you probably know how to use this guide.
I should warn you: some of these translations are pretty iffy because I
had to do them myself so do try to take them with a grain of salt.
Also, Martial Arts and Bows are
generally not part of group attacks. So if you are trying to do say, X
Attack and
you have a character that is equipped with no weapons or with only bows
in one of
the necessary positions, you will not be able to do X Attack.

|Commander Mode Tactics|
------------------------
These determine your groups method of attacking (to choose, push
Y-button when you get into battle)
Option 1: Concentrate all attacks on one enemy until dead
Option 2: Maintain defensive position (Suzaku Dance suggested)
Option 3: If successful, all heroes move first. If not, then last
Option 4: Heroes will attempt to counter-attack
Option 5: Nobody attacks until after the Group Attack is used
Option 6: "Stun" will be added to attacks
Option 7: Heroes attack with one of their own equipped waza
