WHOSE hordes and elites? Where and how big are the hills and forests? How big is the area between them and how is it arranged?
You approach Empire differently than you approach Skaven than you approach WOC. There's a big difference in how you maneuver around terrain in the middle as opposed to in the corners. If the enemy has strong shooting, you maneuver to use the forests and hills as cover and risk the DT tests, if not then you tend to avoid them and their DT tests.
There is no single tactic that will guarantee success. It simply does not exist. Even hardcore deathstar armies can be smashed if handled properly.
Each opposing army is different (even Dwarves - there's a world of difference between a gunline and a Strollaz list). Each table is different. To try and define one plan that covers all situations is folly. Thus, we give general (and rather vague) suggestions, because YOU have to tailor what you're doing to the conditions that exist on YOUR table. Specific advice for our table is rarely useful for yours.
