[Archive] Protecting your flanks

brimmstorm:

So my last game I played I was up against VC and he had 3 units of Dire Wolves that caused all kinds of trouble. So I was thinking about what I could field to take counter fast cav on the flanks.

So I was thinking of trying out some Ogre Leadbelchers. Has anyone tried this? I was thinking that they could be devestating against fast cav and could hold their own against other things that threaten the flanks.

thoughts??

I use wolfriders/blunderbussiers as my flank protection.

A rare slot is definately too valuable for using leadbelchers.

brimmstorm:

Well I’ve played with Bull Centaurs and they have not been that good. I don’t want to bring 2 Earthshakers right now because I don’t want to hear the complaining:)

Maybe it was just because I was against undead that the wolfriders didn’t do much since to charge the wolves I had to take a fear test.
