IRL theres hundreds if not thousands of soldiers, formations work better then because everything is donne in bulk.
When you have small numbers like in c-rpg, I reckon defensive formations might work, but once the enemies get to you or you get to your set destination point and a fight erupts, you can't expect formations to hold (unless it's siege where theres 1 point the enemy needs to get to).
IMO, I think once the fight starts simple tank/dps formations where shielders try grab enemies attention and 2Hers/Poles kill them or maybe even full on attack by focusing on staying around 1 unit (commander with flag or something), so you dont over extend and such. I think this is as effective as you can get in a game like c-rpg.
