The looming excitement that might be TW warhammer II

You don't just pull out, you reform then rush headlong in again

 

Reread my comment. I said "Then you charge again".

 

A cycle-charge is something your Blood Knights can do once a month.

 

Noice

 

The flying horse is fast and has great maneuverability and pretty good to assassinate lords with, but if you get caught by infantry or other cavalry, you tend to die pretty fast.

The dragon is pretty damn good. It is a bit slower and a larger target, but it makes up for it by being a monster on the battlefield. It decreases your stats a bit, but you get a much larger area of effect on your attacks and it is great against close to anything.

 

The black coach is a little weird. It functions like a chariot, so you can run right through infantry, but it need a lot of micro management to be any good. It's main goal is to run over infantry, but against spears it ain't that good. It is godly against dwarfs, they have no way of stopping it, but i would keep it away from slayers.

 

Very good, I like it. Yah what the game considers a pyrrhic victory is a bit odd. I really like it when you convince factions that should hate you to like you. In one of my Lizardmen campaigns I've been kicking so much Empire and Dwarf but that the Beastmen love me. Also the dragon is definitely Manny's best mount.

 

Well it didn't help the Beastmen much cause I exterminated them as they are blights on the Great Plan. Also they were spreading tons of chaos corruption everywhere which was annoying.

 

Yes I did you mean. Cycle charge. How do you reform? Can you only do it if you're a multiple combatant?

 

Reforming refers to pulling out of a fight and having the unit reform their ranks before charging again. More specifically so that when the unit reengages it has the largest number of models possible fighting.

 

You don't need a second unit (the anvil) to pin down the enemy, but you will be able to pull out your cav faster, and you will take less damage. You will also be able to perform another rear charge with your cav.

And to reform, just pull out of combat. If you pull the unit of cav back, it will automatically reform.

 

Gotcha, thanks guys

 

If you're being reinforced by a second army, or a city, there is a box called "control large army" in the pre-battle screen. If you mark that one, you control all the units, otherwise you only fight with the main army.

 

Your second army has to be pretty close. When you're hovering over an enemy army or city, a yellow arrow will come from the second army, that points at your attacking army, to show that it's within supporting range.
