attack with ranged wepeons! (at low levels your thac0 will be much better with them)

Use pause (hit space bar and plan attacks before doing them)

Use magic, pre buff your characters before hard fights.

Send one character forward sometimes to hold off enemies while your team attacks with bows and slings.

Have fun!

You don't have to instruct six characters at a time, you can go on with three as well. It might be easier to focus on their skills that way.

You have to get to know each class' strengths and weaknesses, and that will take a little time. It may be helpful to go around the first scenes several times befora you actually start playing the game, each time instructing a different char just to try them out.
