New player who needs help with the game and micromanagement. I just bought Warhammer and I'm loving the game. It's reallg eye opening to see how bad I am. Of course I'm going through the motions of learning from my mistakes and trying to understand unit roles, but my trouble comes with unit micromanagement.

Side note: To give some perspective, I'm on turn 84 so I assume this is pretty early in the game. My strongest units are outriders, greatswords, and mortars.

I'm looking for general tips with controlling the units and I have a couple questions:

1) Should I constantly micromanage my frontline or leave them to their own devices while my cavalry and missles do the real damage?

2) Why am I getting Pyhrric(?) victories when I outnumber the enemy 2:1 and only lose a small fraction of my army?

Thanks so much!
