| Post subject: | Rohan Tactics |
HELLO!! ok then im a rohan player and i have a 500pt force so far! and a basic some up of my force is pretty much 20 horse and 20 on foot, a nice basic 500! oh yeah led by emoer!! I find splitting my force into two groups works well with rohan (out flanking) but thats all i really do when it comes to tactics, normally i just take the battle as it comes.. so any help on tactics would be great..........? thanks |

ive seen a complete force of rohan outriders lead by gamling with his banner. all bows! and infinate might! so allot die to bowfire and then you can crush them with a charge |

That's a very cheesy army! I heard of it to, but no offense I hate it. Just totally unthemed and just like a GC army no fun to play against. |

really really really lame... all im going to say Alright when i play rohan i use a simple but prety effective tactic, i have all of the mounted guys i can with bows, then ride around shooting as the infantry advances, when the shield walls clash i fan out my infanty into a thin line and have all of my guys shield, then i rush the cavalry over and smash into the back. Thats the basics of it, you have to adjust it during battles but it usually works well. |

brilliant! I always have been thinking about an effective Rohan shield wall since they don't have spears. |

I am also new and playing Rohan, and I found the following links useful. Hope they will be for you too. http://www.one-ring.co.uk/phpBB2/kb.php ... icle&k=194 http://www.one-ring.co.uk/phpBB2/kb.php ... icle&k=569 The Ironfoot wrote: That's a very cheesy army!

so do you think outriders are overpowered? |

Thanks for the links! no i don't think they are overpowered. but an all outrider force is just not themed and with gamling... They are nice but as an additional troop for a Rohan army. And using Gamling's banner is IMO just turning the rules to your advantage, it may be legal but no fun at all. (just my oppinion) |

Using Gamlings banner with Outriders is clearly wrong as they are exceeding their normal might limit of zero. I'm pretty sure this will appear in a FAQ soon as illegal. As for a Rohan shield wall - be aware that against S3 opponents your shields are of no benefit unless you are shielding against a charge. Riding Rohan around like indians shooting arrows - is likely to gain you very little. The cavalry must be sent in to charge and you need 3 or 4 captains to provide the might necessary to make heroic moves and cheat the priority roll. |

I guess it should be illigal without needing a FAQ. Isn't there a rule not to exceed your original status. not by magic or anything?? As for Rohan shield wall. I used it in my last game and it proved very useful on some scale. I only used enough warriors to flank one side to allow the Riders a safe passage to hit the Uruk crossbowmen falling behind. So it was a single battle tactic but not runing around for the whole battle. BTW, I won this battle thanks to this tactic, and Isengard payed back for the previous one...yooooohooooo

@ Ebob Yea i didn't mean riding around shooting like indians, i mean if you have 6 or so RoR with bows you can ride along shooting (behind the infantry) and then charge when you are close enough, i think i misworded somwhere because i didn't mean riding around shooting thing one bit. I fought a Rohan army once (i think it was 750) which had the 3 hunters, Eomor and like 20 riders (i allowed passenger rules for legolas and gimli cause i thought it was a cool army to fight) don't be limited with just Rohan guys i guess is my point as you can have a efective and themed army with some allies. |
