Posted: Mon Apr 26, 2010 2:38 am
Hi all, playing a friend of mine later this week. We're both using lists we have in mind for different tournaments and are not tailoring to play against each other.

Lord
Beastlord - Wargor- Stone Crusher Mace, Gnarled Hide, Blackend Plate
Hero
Bray Shaman- Dispel Scroll

3 Minotaurs X 2
6 Centigors
16 Bestigors FC, Warbanner
Rare
Chaos Spawn X 2
*One unit ambushing, for 3 total - 20 Gors, 10 Ungors, 15 Gors
High Elves:
L4 Archmage; mounted, 2 scrolls, Ring of Fury, silver wand (Lore of Death would work nicely)

He's a very savvy player and as you can see from his list, he has a lot of deployments. He'll typically start off dropping Spawns on either flank, and by the time I'm done deploying, he's just getting into his important units.
I have magic and shooting as strengths and will need to leverage them. Problem is he has so many fast moving targets, I won't have much timeānot to mention his ambushing units.
One strategy is to castle up in a corner and magic/shoot while he comes towards me. I'll have to set up terrain in such as a way as to minimize his ambushers - maybe blocking terrain on the back edge in the middle, then deploy on one side or the other?
Or I could take the fight to him, but then I won't be able to maximize shooting and magic as much.
C&C welcomed. I may end up posting a battle report (if I don't get tabled early! He's a very sharp player).
