Don't forget, give your prospectors an Ornithopter. That way, they move faster.
Secondary Tip : Ride on a sandworm and head to the battlefield, ur troops will get a huge (!) morale boost.

Didn't know about the Ornis and Prospectors... thanks for the tip!
As for the sandworm-riding, remember if your troops lose and you're present at the battle, you'll get killed! On the other hand it can turn a battle...
It's been some time since I last played, but as i recall you can just speak to the Fremen Leaders during the battle and they'll tell you how the battle is going.
If they urge you to get away, then you must get away quickly! Your troops will certainly lose.
If they say that your presence may win the battle for them, it's pretty risky - your troops may win, but it is not always so.
Finally, if they say the're winning, you're safe and your troops will certainly win the battle.
You should rescue Chani - if you dont your troops get a huge penalty to morale.
Another thing, DON'T try going to a battle in an Orni - you'll ALWAYS be shot down and killed.
Also, has anyone noticed that the Atreides themselves seem to have pitifully few troops - just the handful of palace guards?
