This seems to be a common problem for good roleplayers and gms who are
not necessarily war gamers. I strongly advise setting up running several
sample battles (or battles you anticipate actually happening during game
play) to get used to the strategy involved. This help you create a
challenging, balanced battle that will really enthuse the players. I've done this
only twice in my current campaign, (several times in previous campaigns)
and my players can't stop begging me to give them another chance at glory
on the battlefield... ;-)
