| Post subject: | Isengard vs Army of the Dead |
Today I played a large battle. It was 2v2 and each player controlled a 500 pt force. One of the match-ups on the board ended up being a bunch of Army of the Dead warriors versus my Uruk-hai. I noticed that the Army of the Dead is very effective once they win the fight. Luckily, my teammate had an entire warband of beserkers and I had two myself. That was how we defeated the dead, but without the Beserkers, I don't think I would have done very well there. On the other side of the board, I had a Isengard troll, who I rushed in a round or two too late. He killed Gimli with the help of Sauromans "immbolize", but nothing else. What else could I have done with the troll? If he had a line of regular warriors I would have liked to bowl through them, but that didn't happen. |

Well done. the blades of the dead rule actually makes it harder to kill berserkers As for the ordinary fighting uruk-hai, support each shield with 2 pikes and have a banner hiding behind for 3 attacks and a re roll for each front rower. This will greatly increase your chances of winning the fight against a f3 enemy.\ The isenguard troll is great for taking down warriors and is a lot more arrow proof then the mordor troll. |

You should've suppiorted the Beserkers with the pikemen, the AotD would've died even faster. You shouldn't take a Troll against AotD. |

Beserkers don't have to use their two-handed weapons, they can use hand weapons instead. |
