hi all,
Any dwarf players out there? Is there any useful hint to beat a Skaven army?
Recently, got thrashed really bad.
My army consists of:
2 regiments of dwarf warriors (15 each)
1 regiment of slayers (10 upgraded all to trollslayers)
1 regiment of thunderers (10)
2 cannons
1 regiment of hammerers (15)
1 regiment of miners (10)
1 regiment of ironbreakers (10)
1 gyrocopter
1 thane
2 runesmiths
1 dwarf lord
What happened was something like this:
(1) deployed my cannon in the middle fronted by 1 regiment of warriors
(2) my lord joined the hammerers covering my right flank
(3) the runesmiths are : ironbreakers and the thunderers.
(4) The slayers are on the extreme left flank before the thunderers.
(5) The ironbreakers are covering the left flank
(6) The gyrocopter is around the thunderers
(7) The other regiment of the warriors are covering the left flank of the thunderers
My game plan:
To advance the slayers, together with the thunderers and warriors to pose a threat to my opponent\'s right flank (my left is his right).
The gyrocopter is advanced behind the thunderers as it is used to provide flanking attack upon engagement
The cannons bombarded the enemies.
The hamerers advance slowly (what to expect of dwarves??!!??) on the right. Trying not to be deem a threat
The ironbreaker holding their position.
Miners? Well, if successful, they are suppose to weed out the skaven\'s artillery power.
Then as the right flank met my opponent in close combat, the slayers will hold (unbreakable...), the thunderers peppering them, the warriors flanking...the gyrocopter circling around to harass their support units.
Meanwhile, the Hamerers will advance together with the ironbreakers to produce a right hook to sweep aside all furtile resistance.
Of course, the miners will be taking out their artillery units.
The cannon will continue to bombard them while the right hooking units advance.
What happened was too grisly to describe (deem R(A) for too much gory bloodshed - PS: real reason is too lazy to type it out
).
Anyways, what\'s wrong with this army and strategy? How can stupid silly little rodents (oops...forgot that I am a mouse...hmm...maybe should start playing skaven instead...MuHAHAHAHA) beat my mighty dwarven stooges???!!?? ???
