It's funny that I stumbled across this today, I played WFB back in the late 80s, and was very much into it until I played a competition game where every single unit failed a fear test and they all ran off the table. Quickest game anyone had ever seen, quite ridiculous. After that I decided guitars and girls were a far better distraction, and thank god for that! 😆

Ah, movement trays. I missed you. It is a long time since i played with my bretonians wood elves, but this beginners overview of thr basic game fundementals seems to suggest the rules have been tightened up a bit. However, My last rule book i have was at least an inch thick, but thats how i liked it. I like the magic phase and i dont like the psychic (basically the magic phase in 40k) being changed. Thanks for the vid.

Just wanted a little clarification on something to make sure I read it right. Those that get killed in combat are removed from the number that can fight back? So if the regiment with the higher initiative "kills" 4 of the 6 miniatures in the front rank, the other regiment involved only fights back with 2 models (in that case, would it be the champion and one other regular mini)? Just felt a little lost on that and wondered if folks could help.

@donandresdeulloa4638 4 ай бұрын

This is correct. The sargeant will fight, but the bannerman and musician technically die (someone from the rear ranks steps up and picks up the flag and the drum) so they cant fight. Ive encountered the problem where high intiative units pwn my lower ones, wiping out rank after rank, with only the sargeant swinging attacking back

Dragon Ogre can only adopt Close Order, but if i want i can also purchase just one 1 Dragon Ogre. So what Formation will the Dragon Ogre have?

Unless there is more text in the book and/ or samples than the text u displayed, the pursuing into the chariot looks sketchy to me (unless the camera is super deceiving). Normally it used to be a situation while pursuing the fleeing unit (in a straight line) would cause the pursuing unit to touch bases with a different enemy unit, and then it would count as a charge). Whereas on your example it looks like the unit just decided to charge something else instead of pursuing, and even got a flank charge to make it worse (again camera makes it look like the majority of the unit is in the front arc of the chariot), which would also mean pursuing is way more advantageous than overrunning, since it seems the overrunning unit doesn’t have the same choice to abandon its straight line movement…
