Dealing with Brettonians

[grunt90]

My friend who was going High elves, is now changing ways and heading towards Brettonians. Now I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how I am suppose to beat his calvary, or any calvary at that. The only way I can think of is use the ambush to get behind lines, and throw my chariot to its doom, trying to stop them.

But also, how many calvary is he actually going to have in a 500 point game? He is going to have a good mix of men at arms, and calary, if not more Men at arms. So any s uggestoins?

He'll probably have one decent sized unit of Knights of the realm led by a Paladin, backed up by two units of Men at Arms.

To be honest, I don't have much experiencing in facing Brettonians.

The flanks of their knights are vulnerable though, due to their 'lance' formation. I'd try and stall his Knight unit with your Chariot, you need the charge. Hold for a turn [which it should on the turn it charges], that will allow you to set up an easy flank charge with a beast unit.

So its really dependant on your Chariot getting the charge on his Knights.

The Men at Arms shouldnt posemuch of a a problem to any unit in your army 1 on 1.

thats what I was thinking, maybe set up a unit in ambush, and flank from there, something like that. The only models that he is going to are from the battle box, so whatever is in there is what he is going to have.

Alright, what comes from the battle box is one pegasus knight, sixteen peasant bowman, 8 knights of the realm, and 20 men at arms.

[Arguleon Veq]

Bowmen shouldn't cause you any problems at all really.

Your Hero should be able to deal with the Pegasus Knight. Then the rest applies to what I said earlier. It will be tough for you, but not impossible to pull out the win.

That would just make the game that much funner when the beasts come out on top =D
