In Legends, if you find a force with a tough slot of troops,
    is it best to put your best troops across from it?  Do
    adjacent slots have an effect on each other?  If you attack
    a lair (in which the monster has a nasty SA), for example, do
    you put a small weak slot in front of the monster, or do you
    face it with your best slot?

Put the nasty ones in slot 7 and fill the front rows with one soldier each.
Killed a lair with a demigod dragon once this way. Lost 3 soldiers:

1 MA
2 SA (3500)
3 Charge

it never made it to the other rounds. (10000 soldiers in slot 7)
And a character with effective 40 tac as a overall force leader.

I have only one 'nasty' slot of troops right now, and I don't
    want to waste them needlessly (I am pretty good at getting
    them killed off, though *grin*) in a foolish attack.

Generally speaking, what are some effective ways to line up
    your troops to get the better of the enemy?

Soldiers with good defence in the front. Don't put them on warmounts or their
DF will drasically be reduced. But soldiers on warmounts in 678 slots and let
them charge.

Tactics may vary due to difference enemy 678 is assinged. ( I mean don't
charge if they have countercharge=> waste of good soldiers.

Hope it provides some help.
