2nd Tactic of the Week

For a treat today, I thought I'd post a 2nd Tactic of the Week, being Friday and all.

I call this the "Hop to Safety."

Here is the Situation, you are facing a cav unit with lances. Last thing you want is for them to charge you. So you need to setup the charge on them.

I have a unit of Clanrats (CR) and Slaves (SL) facing off against the cavalry unit (CAV).


The slave unit has moved up really close and is threatening the flank of the cav unit. The cav unit has almost no choice but to charge.
When the cav charges the slaves flee.



Normally the cavalry would easly chase the slaves down and run them down. Usually this is not that big a problem, but if you don't want to sacrifice them, you can save them. When the slaves flee they will hit the clanrats and get an extra 4-5" flee boost by landing on the clanrats. Just ensure you are not near the table edge. No panic on the clanrats as slaves don't cause panic to Clanrats.

With the long wheel, the cavalry is out of charge range of the clanrats and falls short.


And finally, the slaves rally and the clanrats charge into the cavalry unit keeping them from getting their charge bonuses and allowing you to win combat.

Good luck
