LET HIM EAT CHAFF!

[MrAbyssal]

I may not have designed the most powerful list ever but that doesn't mean it can't be effective in it's own way. It just means it's harder to use.

If we lose though my next purchases will have to be Demigryphs and a Steam Tank.

Even better Idea...Blaster 1 cannon 1 and the griffon up there too...the bloodletters that way have a long march before them before they reach any beef of our army and while they are on the march we try to get rid of...first the keeper then the bloodcrushers...and with aux units the bloodhounds.

I like it, change my vote to this.

Between the Pistoliers and Knights we should be able to delay the Bloodletters.  Vanguard the Pistoliers as before and use them to force the Bloodletters to charge and overrun into the swamp.

How will we force them to overrun?

Aren't Bloodletters subject to Frenzy?

[Athiuen]

We could set up a medium distance charge and flee.  If he gets a large roll he goes into the swamp and we lose archers (who cares).  And if he fails he misses a turn.

Daemon Khorne don't get Frenzy....their claim to fame is Killing Blow.

I will work your "hide in a corner" strategy and have it posted soon.

I can agree to the discussions above...mainly as this was what I was advocating in the previous deployment decisions
My only concern is fitting the griffon in.

[Holy Hand Grenade]

Unfortunately this doesn't look anything like a Griffon.

Lets see how it goes.  This is your chance for final comments on the units placed last.

I did not Vanguard the Pistoliers yet, but they will move a little forward but towards the center.

[Noght]

You Rock HHG.  Btw, I've got my Chronicler working again.  I might recreate and fiddle....

Yeah it really looks like crap, We really need to reorganize. Lets hope we get first turn

We screwed the Griffon from the first deployment but putting the archers in the swamp. If we get charged at long range, either with the knights or pistoliers I really thing we should flee, especially if it's long range. Both will probably be rallying on Ld10 as the General is in the Knights so the pistoliers will probably be within range to use his Ld. We should try and keep at least 11" from the Keeper though. I would love to see the Keeper spending a couple of turns stumbling forward only a few inches.

[commandant]

Would it be worth trying to smash the knights through the line and into his backfield?

Otherwise we may need to hurry them towards our lines.   Stupid general really to be so far from his army

[MrAbyssal]

Probably not. We'd have to be lucky to break through the Flesh Hounds without the Keeper being able to join in. Better I think to tempt the charge from the Keeper to slow it up so the cannon gets an extra turn of shooting at it.

[zakalwe]

How is our cannon LoS, how are we aiming cannonballs, Ground target required or not?

[commandant]

Our cannon LOS is fairly fecked.   We can only really aim at large targets because our troops are in the way.

I seem to recall the French having this problem once.

Yup, furthermore that fence is a nightmare for us... Cannon balls will stop rolling, so the keeper can just move up behind it and charge the next turn. Unless the keepers T is reduced killing it with the hellblaster solely in one phase is utopic.

TDG 3.1 is up and posted.

If we slide the Halbs over we can get a shot off on the heavy cavalry on our turn.  See the next thread.

It is going to be interesting.

The swamp deployment was so we could test the swamp...but slide the bunker behind the Griffon no matter which side we placed it on.  Of course, we didn't go with either original destination for the Griff...but the bunker can get over there eventually.
