If you know there's a big battle looming in your campaign, make sure you build it up beforehand. Set up the hopeless odds, the overwhelming superiority of the enemy forces, and the fact that reinforcements won't arrive until first light of the fifth day. The anticipation is half the fun of playing out a battle scene, so don't skimp on it.
