Some basic tips:
- Make sure you are not defending clear terrain (use woods, villages, swamps, or behind rivers whenever possible). Don't be afraid to retreat a little to do so (which is a good opportunity to leave detachments)!
- try to defend in lines. If possible only give the enemy 1-2 hex faces to attack from. In many games it is second nature to clump as many units as possible and play with large 'stacks'; for defense this is not always optimal. If you do have a unit that can be attacked from multiple sides, make sure its a tough unit and that he's holding tough terrain.
- use the entrench button whenever possible, I think this automatically prevents overruns!
- make sure your artillery is in range of your defending units so it can help in the battles (you won't see it but it gives your defenders some extra shifts that the opp must overcome)
