I've FE Wii on my wanted list since forever but never got around to it. Too many games, too little time :)

But if FE DS turns out to be awesome, it might push me to get the Wii version sooner.

I've reading on FE, it seems, your party should have some of everything to counter the enemies.

Axe beats Spear
Spear beats Sword
Sword beats Axe
Bow beats Flying units

Looking at the charts, The promoted units usually gain an extra weapon type which is quite useful for backup outside of your main weapon type.

It seems, mounted units have the least disadvantages. The are better than the walking units in terms of movements. Is not 1-shot-dead against arrows like flying units. A little bit of resistance to stop those spells from killing you. It's not a tank like Knight or General but that defense boost means sacrifice of movements.

Hmmm, reserver 2 spots for horsemen and 2 spots for paladins sounds about right?

A bare minimum of 1 magic offense to hit those physical tanks.

Archer class could be totally skipped since horsemen already handle flying units.

An optional physical tank to put a roadblock on enemies or just use as mage/healer wall.

Okay, I better not look into too much of this stuff or it'll make the game too easy? :)
