Hi, one of our mate, who used elves today, lost twice really fast.

He is disappointed, cause his army is beautiful, but useless. As he sad the elves are to expensive. They are good warriors, but otherwise the mob, like uruk-hais could kill them easily.

Why?

Cause uruk's DEF is high, they are strong.

So my friend wants to collect a lot of ideas, tactics for elves, cause at the moment he does not see the point of this whole game.

Please help him, elf players.

You didn't say which type of elves, but there's a link up there for high elves, Galadhrim, and wood elves.

Basically, you can't take anyone head on*, you have to use terrain**, hold positions by shielding so that more numbers can be brought to bear elsewhere, and direct all shooting to spear and pike support.

*That said, if you have Rumil backed by pikes, flanked by a pike line on each side (but not too close), that formation will slaughter just about anything it touches.

**Are you using enough terrain? The game suggests 33-50% board coverage, but I've seen a lot of people play on an open board. Use terrain to break up enemy formations and hold gaps.
