This is one of my favorite levels.  The Baron Starts the game in the north-east corner of his castle.  He will do one of three things; go south toward the eastern bookcase, go west toward the western bookcase, or go into the center atrium.  He moves with hesitation toward his escape but you still have to move fast!  The fastest, easiest way to dispatch the Baron is to simultaneously move two salients up the eastern and western corridors while ignoring all other areas.  This strategy works great because it traps the baron in the north-east corner by a massive force that is not weakened from any previous engagements.  The one cavaet is that the eastern salient must move quickly up the eastern corridor lest the Baron move south and escape the trap.  DO NOT STOP, move your eastern forces quickly up the corridor.  The second more conservative strategy is to secure the eastern bookcase (use satchels!) and move your western forces up the western corridor.  Ignore the western bookcase because your forces moving up the west corridor will cut off his move west.
Common mistakes:
#1  Spliting forces into more than 2 salients.
#2  ATTENTION TARDS: Baron cannot escape out the main center exit.
