![]() After taking out their cavalry with my cav + flank infantry I go for the good ol' hammer'n'anvil. Then I put whatever I have of unit reserves, heroes, lord, cav in or behind that formation and deploy them where needed when the battle has begun. Generally I use variations of the following setup:Ī = Infantry stretched thin for taking out flanking cav It's a smart use of cavalry, but gives me loads of time to shoot them down. Bretonnia loves to repeat charge (in, out, in out). I make the front of the box thicker because they always get hit the hardest. They're gonna be trying to flank me or charge in the rear anyway. It's not very advanced, but sometimes when I face an all-cav Bretonnia army I just make a box out of my infantry and stick the ranged in the middle. Or pray to Sigmar to kill them fast enough. Probably best thing to do in that case is to simply block off said cav with your own cav for the time of killing captured infantry. You might have problem especially with enemy cavalry using this strategy. Bonus points if you have some ranged on back that could shoot captured from the sides while your main infantry seals off back and front of formation.Īs I said, it's situational. If they do, the only thing left to do is to make a box (killbox, duh) out of idle units from the front, and capture enemy units in inescapable blob of bodies. In last moments before collision you pull the charged sections to the back, and hope for the enemy to pursue them. But it's also pretty fun to set up.ĭeployment is pretty basic, you make simple line of troops, and wait for enemy to charge. It's really situational though, main reason to do it is simply to minimalize casualties on your side. It's very good thing versus small but elite armies, where you can use your number advantage at full potential. I sometimes like to use so called killbox. (watch the video for detailed instructions) It involves laying an ambush and springing it while baiting the main army with your visible forces. This tactic requires a small piece of forest on a flank and is somewhat more advanced than the regular line tactics covered so far. Shifted Battle Line Trap: Video by THFE productions.Similar results as the Oblique Order, more micro-intensive, though gets the job done faster and with less casualties. The same basic idea as the Oblique Order, except this gets done on both flanks. Pincer Movement (Horns of the Buffalo):. ![]() This can be used to further effect in the next tactic: This will allow you to hold the line, while your strong flank can break their opponents quickly then swing around to flank the next enemy unit. Oblique Order: (PartyElite covers this in a video)įocusing on one flank, either have reserves or elite infantry.Once the enemy has fully committed, cavalry or elite infantry gets sent to attack the flanks of the enemy, shattering their morale quickly. Literally one line of infantry, ranged behind them, cavalry on the flanks. TheokolesTW covers tactics in Total War (Thanks look at some useful tactics:.(Thanks THFE Productions does some pretty cool videos on tactics and unit formations. Watching his Warhammer playlist might be worth it, even if you are a veteran player. PartyElite has some pretty cool tactics, as well as some beginners guides to the game.(Also, only add tactics you have used in-game, not all the tactics in history books will work with a PC game ) I would like to compile sort of a tactics list, any feedback and new tactics would be greatly appreciated. This is the Hammer and Anvil tactic at its most basic. I usually have cavalry on either flank to discourage enemy flanking manoeuvres, and to flank them myself once they are in combat. Up till now I've done several variations of a single, solid line of infantry with missiles behind them, and artillery at the rear. In spite of this, I have never really used any advanced tactics in a TW game. So I'm somewhat of a Total War veteran, and I'm also really interested in warfare and weaponry(Classical era up till the end of World War 1). 2K A Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia.846 A Total War Saga: Fall of the Samurai.
