are you actually versing the bret with two elf armys? you should have just posted on either in the bret section or the general fantasy section. go take a look at the high evles section for my tips on beating them.

Bolt throwers are great against cavalry lance formations so id take a few of those.

The Lance formations are also very poor at manouvering so id take some fast cavalry to harass the flanks of these units. If you take some cold one knights then if any of the bretts do turn to face the threat (big if) your cold ones can charge.

Some spearmen might be able to hold a charge with full command and at least 3 ranks, particularly with a character in the front rank.

well they are fast, and that mothef....... ward same of 5 or 6+ depending on the streght is just a pain is the a..... it happen to me firing a bolt thrower and he getting that ward safe to time in row , but hey thats the vad luck on the dice (for me), but well, you need strong units that can match his. first 1 lord and 1 heroes on dark pegasi, put the guntlet of power on the lord and a 2 hand weapon on the heroe, don't botter give him a magic weapon, the best one around for a heroe is the draich of dark power (+2 St, killing blow) killing blow against them whit just 3 attacks, nope, to much points for nothing on exchange. as well you need magic 2 sorceress on dark riders. yes they have just 6+ armour save but you will not have to fight on that stupidity test on a cold one plus she will be a lot faster this way, and remember dark magic is short range so you need to be close.

take 2 boltthrowers and 1 hydra, the hydra ones you learn to used well it rocks is my best friend on killing hard units (ones it took a units of chaos knights chosen no bull sh..) i charge on the flank of course. if not take 4 bolttrhowers their alwais not enough of this babes.

you'll need 1 or 2 units of cold ones, yeap i hate when i score a 10 on the stupidity test just when i'm going to charge and ruin my plans. but is the best cavalry you have available. as well take 2 units of dark riders whit musisian to set up traps to charge him on multiple flanks.

i'll stop talking so much(get to exited) i just hate Brett.

OOOOhhhhh almost forgot alwais take a unit of 5 harpies, they don't do nuts against pegasi, but you need to take out their stone thrower, if he have any, that will do a lot of damage if it get your troops. you can use as well the heroe since hes not to strongh but hes acctually a backup unit for the lord, i alwais used them together.

well seeya.
