The uber unit:

With Empire, Cannons and Mortars are the answer to most problems.
With my VC, hordes to hold them up and hopefully re-summon more then they can kill until I can get Black Knights in their flank. Zombies are good for this since you can raise a bunch fairly easy.

I find it depends on the army I am fighting and what I have on the board. Brettonian Death Stars I will always encourage them to take on my White Lions because Brets don't do stubborn. However with things like Chaos and Demons, if I cannot magic them to death I tend to run away like a little girl =)

Tactical manoeuvring is pretty much the best you can hope for. I tend to find that if people are running death stars the rest of their army is severely lacking so I focus on that, playing elves is helpful because they tend to move faster than most things that cause me problems =)
