Gee, was the red team EBF and some Numenoreans?
I would run away and pick my fights, continuously running away and picking my fights, stringing them out one-by-one and killing them. All the teams are fighting as mobs and therefore by the red teams terms (except for the small one in a line who is severely outnumbered)
Anyway, unit battles hardly tell a true classical tactical victory. Maybe of the classic Belegarth tactical victory of avoiding combat until all the big units kill each other. The very nature of unit battles is flawed (at least in who truly wins) in the sense that you are either constantly attacked from all sides, spend the whole time running away from combat or you stand and wait to see what all the other groups do.
In these scenarios with 5-15 teams, the group with the high individual experience typically win because it's a bunch of one-on-one fighting with the skirmisher tactics of envelopement. If a large group is formed, all the little teams will gang up on the big team and then once the big threat is gone, they go after each other. If a large line unit is in the games, it has to corner these groups and then pick them apart or run them over. Hell, most the times when charged (in my experience) the experienced team will * about headshots and leave the field. Even then, the field will attack the line unit, especially if it is huge.
Anyway, your scenario has way too many variables in it to be a true tactical discussion.
