In my battles, I have noticed that Bretonnian knights have a notorias habit of getting themselves flanked. I tried many different strategies ranging from using knights defensively, to supporting the flanks with Men at Arms. Finall, I found a tactic that worked.
I used a mixture of combat and shooting peasants to hold both flanks. One flank was held by skirmished bowmen. They easily held off most light troops and also threated heavy troops with a flank charge. The other flank was held by three units. The first unit is a trebuchet which I us with deadly efficiency. The next unit is a small unit of Bowmen who protect the trebuchet with arrows and stakes. In front of the Bowmen, are Battle Pilgrims. At 30 strong, the Battle Pilgrims have always held enemy units for at least 3 turns and have never run or been killed off. The Battle Pilgrims make it possible for my knights to deal with a much smaller enemy force. The knights charge up the center and my Pegasus Knights roam around the battlefield attacking where they are most needed.

It's pretty straight forward... after many rule discussions, I have decided to make an article to state the rules I've made for army lists and a clear explanation, accompanied by examples and ideas for balancing lists along with it.

I have read a good number of tacticas on the Bretonnian army at this site. The majority seem to be tailored to defeat a particular foe. However, I have also read one on mass use of peasants (the Peasant Tactica by Joan of Arc). The all-knight list is at the opposite end of the scale, and I believe it deserves a mention as well. At least, the strategy seems to work for me.

Introduction
Bretonnian
army is made out of basicly two types of units: the elite cavalry
knight regiments, an the cheep peasent backup units. The structure
which is needed in order for this unbalanced order to work is that the
peasents duty is used to its fullest, i.e. that the knights constanly
controll the peasent leadership. A problem may arrise, and this will be
discused later, because the speed inferiority of the peasent units will
either slow down the knights, or leave the peasents stranded on their
own. In this perticular case, the knights are without backup, and under
pressure to break their opponents or be defeated in second and
subsequent turns of combat. The peasents on the other hand are left as
easy targets for the enemy base line shooting and flanking troops.

*disclaimer: this article was written more than 2 years ago, with the 6th ed rules, so something might have been changed, since then* I have long played against this undead army, since my best friend has a Vampire Count army, therefore I know, quite good, the single VC units, and some tactics. This army is very similar to Khemry (better the other way around, since Tomb Kings came second): some units even share the same names. The only big difference is that Tomb Kings (or Khemry) have war machines, VC don’t, and this characteristic will change the whole prospective of Vampire armies, that in 99,9% of the time, will only have hand-to-hand units (in fact, skeletons can be equipped with bows, but BS 2, and a high points cost, dissuades even the most “elfish” Vampire). In my WHFB career, I have seen two types of VC armies: one typical, and one made of elite units. |
