I have to agree that unless you want to slow your entire army down dramatically, Trolls usually end up being a second-wave arrival. I've only managed to get them up front faster in situations where our deployments are nearly on top of each other or else we have enough terrain involved to make it viable.

When you say the troll spear do you mean 3 trolls all bunched together? Or spread about


I mean close together, like maybe 3-4" apart and one slightly leading. Like a loose wedge formation in SBG.

How does she get the trolls moving fast enough? One of the problems I have had with cave trolls is how slow they are, not being able to at the double generally has them arriving at the battle, like, 2 turns after all the goblins and wargs and stuff (move 9 goblins with AtD, I frequently charge on the first turn)


Good question, my answer is I don't know. I haven't played against her army since early April which was my last WOTR game. While I agree that tactically the trolls make a sound 2nd line, I'm thinking she used it in part as arrow magnets so we wouldn't focus fire on the Goblins. It's been a while so I'm not 100% sure anymore.
