| Posted : Saturday, 3 June 2006 - 06:52 I go with tonnes of 50-80 pop stacks... so a medium amount of medium power for me...
I like fighting people with a few big stacks... I just surround them, shoot them with range and wear them down...
I also like fighting people with lots of small stacks... you can just shoot them down and mop the rest of them up.
So both ways have advantages/disadvantages. The big stack way works sometimes, the small stack way works sometimes, LOD's way works sometimes, my way works sometimes... you gotta be flexible... don't keep to tactics that are making you lose...
But it's really a matter of preference, so just find a way you like  Last Edited : Saturday, 3 June 2006 - 06:53 | Tyler salyers Joined 13/05/2003

I like to move with 1-2 small scouts in front and another one staying with the main armies for backup.

| Posted : Monday, 12 June 2006 - 02:48 Game 41 suggests people scout in force lately. 
Skirmish rules also mess this up quite nicely, although I have no skirmish pedigree to comment on - maybe one of these folks will now I've mentioned it | | Finguld Joined 29/12/2002

Yeah LOD's strategy only works sometimes. | | Killerdude Joined 1/03/2002

yes, this is a much debated subject, and everyone develops their own style of play throughout their tenure on WoL, so listening to anyone would really not help but i would prefer to definately have some stacks for zoc and retal. Also, Skirmish games have max damage which means it is ok to have stacks that do 1000+ damage, while in other games which arent skirmish's troops can only do 1k damage, so you probably dont want too many large armies. Just my opinion dont know if anyone would agree :p | |
