What is the best tactic against warmashine and shooting?
I normally play against army’s without shooting but now I’m going to play against Dwarf and Empire. So what is the best tactic against warmashine and shooting?

Re: What is the best tactic against warmashine and shooting?
You have several options here (in no specific order):
1. Use cover or line of sight or terrain or whatever to your advantage. Don't let your opponent use his shooting against you.
2. Sacrificial protection - use an eagle or rider with the charmed shield to catch cannonballs, etc
3. Multiple threats - using lots of fast threats to overwhelm your opponent, i.e. flyers can get into his backfield quickly if he can't kill them early
4. Advance - don't give your opponent time to shoot you, use units than can cross the board quickly
5. Use magic to protect you i.e. phas's protection or shield of saphery, or comet to kill them
These are but a few ideas you could use.
