I think of bowmen for long range "counter battery" work and crossbowmen for closer range punching through armour work.

Yep, but currently I don't have a bowman, just a crossbowman.
I tried that on the scenario and the freaking AI kept him moving out of distance of my attacks. Not sure if this was a fluke or the AI is programmed that well.
My observation was that I was able to get a swordsman around to engage him because he was pre-occupied with casting the reanimating spells. Fortunately I had my troops hold of the zombies until I started a physical attack on the necromancer. At that point he tried to defend himself with a dagger. The zombies and remaining thugs were mopped up while two additional troopers got around to the necromamcer. It fidn’t matter as the swordsman finished him off.
I have a solid core of ten, still need a bowman and another spearman. Need better armor.

Interesting -- most times the necromancer stays still and takes the hits.
Daggers are very good in killing enemies without destroying their armour... and increasing chance of capturing it as loot.
yeah. I divided up into three parties. One North, one up the middle and one South. That strat really did not work but I did manage to get at least one guy up North and one down South free to pursue him. When I started moving towards the middle of the board he moved his Necro up the middle away from both parties. I did have a very weak party that was losing up the middle so maybe he was moving forward into range to cast the reanimate. Not sure but it did look like he was avoiding my advance.

Loot the weapons from the undead once you kill them, they will only be able to bite your armor once they reanimate.
Ahh shit! I do remember someone talking about that in the videos I have watched on this. How do you actually do it. Move on top of the enemy and hit what? Thanks.
You can do that? I just kept killing them because after each reanimation they were easier to take out.
Just a tip....undead don't always need a Necromancer to reanimate. They do it all the time for me now, Necro or no.
What about if you decapitate? Do they still reanimate?
I have seen a decapitated Undead "Hero" (I probably have the name wrong.....very tough undead warrior) reanimate as a "Headless Hero" (or something like that). But usually, no.
Happened to run into a Necromancer today, on a 1000 crown "retrieve a trinket for a village" mission.
Anyone know if saving a game in a scenario is possible? I hate having to rearm all my men every time I want to retry the scenario. The starting load out is usually garbage.
Also, is there a way to rearrange your defense before the scenario mission? I read somewhere that it is possible during campaign battles.

Did your initial pair of wardogs have puppies? That's quite a pack of canine carnage! 
Went back to one of my saved games and ended up that I took a quest to escort a caravan a long way, ran out of money I. The way and most of my party bailed. So going to restart this again. But the question is how hard is it to negotiate some money upfront to pay your party enroute?
