Seems this thread got hijacked, that's a shame.
As for advice, most of it has already been said: Horse users are pretty damn good in FE4, Have Leaf escape last in FE5, etc.
Though I want to say, make sure you don't go into overtraining binges in FE5 because of the stamina problem. I especially almost got myself in big trouble because I didn't know at what chapter Fatigue kicked in and ended up having a good size of my roster taken out before because I thought it was smart to kill everything on the map instead of just finishing (which by the way, is better in FE5 in certain situations because the saved Fatigue can prove to be much more useful than a few exp. points lost).
