Notes

Commanders should be able to determine basic layout of armies going into battle; units can be placed in the center, the left wing, the right wing, the reserves, and/or some other combination of general positions.
Since armies are usually in lines, most units can only be engaged by one other unit.

Battlefields are separated into small, manageable sectors with max x units per side.
One random roll at the start of a fight, and then the numbers return to default values as luck starts playing less of a roll in masses of troops beating up each other.
Horses allow movement between sectors and allow such movement to be intercepted.

All units have a morale. Ashigaru are easier to rout than to kill all of. Monks are easier to kill than rout. Samurai come up somewhere in between.
Flanking attacks and rear attacks are powerful, but difficult to pull off on most units due to everyone being in a line.
