Before Assault: Thoughts on Tactics Leading to the Enemy's Defeat

by Zythaar of Mousillon 

1.Introduction

  From many centuries, since the wars began the generals cracked their heads on how to defeat the enemy. Many strategies that were wrong cost the lives of thousands of soldiers and ruined the whole countries. The goal of this article is to present you some of the strategies drawn out from the real wars and adapted to the Warhammer Fantasy Battles. With the new edition coming I thought it would be great to gather up ideas and make a primer for new adepts in the arts of war helping them to learn and understand the basic rules of the battlefield. This article is addressed to people familiar with the rules of WFB although the changes in 8th edition will be explained as they are discussed.
