Generally, I use straight charge options or flank options (flank supposedly
gives a bonus if successful, and you're usually successful against a lair).
Tactical reserve means "don't bother to enter the combat at all", so that's
a bad one to use.

Each unopposed point of INV is good for a 50% improvement of DF.  So an INV
of 6 is worth +300% DF, which means multiplying by 4 (1 for what you'd normally
get with INV 0 plus 3 representing your +300% gain).
