Balon Durrandon: 1 Veteran M@A (Balon attached) 1 Trained Freerider 4 Seasoned M@A 5 Seasoned Longbowmen
Walgrave Oakheart Warfare 4D+2B: 1 Veteran M@A (Walgrave attached) 4 Trained Freeriders 5 Trained M@A
Parmen Warfare 3, Command 1B, Tactics 1B: Gormon Peake 3D+1B Gareth the Gray 3D+1B Samwell Tully 3D+1B Vardis Mallister 3D+1B
Each has: 1 Trained Freeriders (Sub-commander attached) 2 Seasoned Guardsmen 2 Trained Archer Militia 8 Trained Militia
Unless Daeron wants to break this up into more detail I think we can do a Left - Center - Right. Once he gets his stuff lined up we can break it down into sub threads and start resolving orders.
The Left: Samwell Tully & Vardis Mallister The Center: Balon Blackbriar, Gormon Peake, Parmen Redwyne The Right: Walgrave Oakheart, Gareth the Gray

Happy to have Balon roll for the team and Parmen can make commentary wherever appropriate.

Let's not attach characters to units.
Also, having 10 units supposed to take orders from Balon is a poor idea as all orders has to originate from Balon (although if the army is split up with independent left and right flanks, then just the orders from the center has to originate from him, with independent commanders on left and right doing as they please).
Generally, having independent segments of an army basically would mean that each segment issues orders a battle round without knowing what the other segments will be doing, they might know what the other parts are supposed to be doing. In this case, that doesn't really apply, so best have all orders originate from the same source methinks. It would be possible to have a subcommander who does nothing but assists the main commander (probably something Daeron might consider). If there's too many units to effectively command with the sub-commanders available, it's possible to keep some in reserve, if a unit is next to another unit and they are being attacked by that, it'll probably attack back if nobody tells them to do something else.

I won't attach anyone to a unit (will edit when I have things sorted out).
I have 6 sub-commanders and each can issue 10 orders. How exactly does this work? I roll 6# Warfare (Command) & Warfare (Tactic) TN9 each for each sub commander who can then issue 10# orders using Warfare (Command) plus any bonus from my roll. This leaves me 4 orders to issue myself?
Units that haven't been ordered kind of mill about or are a "reserve"?

Yes.
If a unit isn't issued an order, it will do whatever the unit leader decides, which usually means standing in place and attack if adjacent to enemies, counterattack if not. (missile units would attack if something is within range).
You'd also need a rough enough outline of how the forces are arranged, say infantry in such and such lines, archers in front or to the sides, where is the cavalry?

Would it make sense IC for a sub commander to be given control of an entire type of unit, like one person for archers/cavalry/etc?

Would a map/grid of sorts be helpful for this?

Yes and Yes.

Do we have one or shall I make one?

We don't have one and I'm not able to make one

We could use Roll20. I have a live rpg group that uses it with a lot of success. Might require some extra steps for creation and movement but it's a thought.
Or if we're just shooting for practice warfare we can give a general description and use common sense.

I think we can just go without on this one as long as we’re both fine with a basic left/right/center setup. We should get something set up though for when the stakes are higher, such as the War in the Riverlands.

Daeron if you're fine with it we can go left-center-right for spacing purposes and maybe something like Cavalry and Infantry make the front line, bows the back line. Units can only attack their area (left, right, etc) until all enemy is gone. It doesn't have to be too fancy.

A rough layout: Infantry and Cavalry in the front line. Ranged in the second line. Units that don't get issued orders (extra infantry e.g.) stay in the second line and fill any gaps by routed/destroyed/annihilated units in the front line.
