Ugly piece of rule ain;t it?

Personally, I use just use Military Theory (small-unit),

But perhaps the number of dice you can role due to limited by Leadership
(Tactics: small-unit), and by the Battle-tac skill.

What does everyone else use Leadership (Tactics) for? Is it just another
check to see if the NPC's actually follow your tactics roll?

NB. I actually make the player work out the plans roughly. If another
character deviates from those plans significantly, they lose the
initiative bonus, due to those tactics.
