Bretonnians on the move

I used an all Cav army yesterday . It had no walking troops, even at the end of the game. With the rules for monstrous Cav, 1 profile, it made the Heroes on Royal Pegasus into a Royal Pain.

Took my time. I used 4 turns to jockey for a good position against the Chaos warriors. I had enough quick troops to deal with any war machines, I think, in my turn 2, but the Warriors had no shooting, so I waltzed into what I considered a perfect position to annihilate whatever I attacked. On turn 5 I charged.

I slammed the Errant Knights into the front of a unit of Marauders with flails. I also flanked them with a unit of Peg Knights. Even though the Marauders attacked before the Errant Knights, the armor and Ward saves were effective, and when the dust settled, the Marauders needed Insane Courage, and they failed to muster it.

On the same turn I lined up a charge that I thought would decide the game once and for all. I had the Grail Knights and what was left of the Knights of the Realm hit a unit of Khorne Warriors in the front. I also had the King hit them in the rear. At the same time, I had the other 4 Palladins lined up on the 3+ save Warshrine. If I could break the Warshrine, I would have 3 more Palladins in the rear of the Chaos Warriors, and the combat would be fought immediately.

With 9 S6 attacks, I was hoping for 1 to 2 wounds on the Shrine, but I did none. The other attacks were also fruitless, but still with the toys that the Plladins had I won combat by 4. Good odds that the Shrine would run, but the dice were not blessed, and they held on the needed roll of 5.

On to the Warrior combat without the support I needed. Many attacks later, lots of dice roll, and quite a bit of anticipation, the Warriors had 6 fighters remaining at combat's end. They needed Insane Courage, and they rolled the needed DOUBLE 1's. A well executed plan thwarted by Khorne.

Even though he slammed into me on Turn 6, the Lord and the Grails ran far enough to stay out of harm's way. They rallied on turn 6, and the game ended with a spread of about 275 points in favor of the Chaos Warriors.

At least you were thwarted by Khorne. When I played the Chaos Warriors, I learned that Tzeentch is truly treasonous. And they call ME the "rat bastard".

I think the successful Bret list nowadays use lots of Men At Arms to clog up enemy formations and hold them up with steadfast.

So if I am counting on STEADFAST, that means that the little peasants are going to lose combat. It is so much more enjoyable to win combats.

Ok.
