Editing Warcry (section)

== Tactics ==

=== Deployment groups ===
* Shield is usually on the field early, followed by Dagger, then hammer. Thus, put important units in Shield.
* Consider movement speed. A fast unit can better go into Hammer, since it can catch up.
* Put the leader in the biggest/tankiest group, to protect him.
* If you get to pick deployment, consider terrain features as well as reinforcement ingress.
* If you know the Win conditions before deploying, it makes a big difference. Take your time to make the right choice.

=== Win conditions ===
* Always play the scenario, not your opponent. Killing does not necessarily mean winning.
* If you have more units than your opponent, look for ways to use this for winning.

=== Warband configuration ===
* Units fill different roles.
* At the least, you can differentiate between: Tank (Hard to kill), Destroyer (High damage), Chaff (Cheap)
* You want a spread of roles - not just one type. But some warbands excel at specific roles.
* Number of bodies is a feature in it self.
* High movement/fly is important for a lot of missions. A high speed Destroyer is good for assassination.
* Ranged weapons are generally weak/over priced, but have high tactical utility. They are very vulnerable to Twists and deployment. If your warband can field a strong ranged unit type, consider bringing one, but only one.

=== Abilities ===
* In the early game, you should save wild dice, but once you are past round 2, you run the risk of wasting them, so be more eager to spend them.
* Seizing initiative is generally undesirable in round 1, but gets important in later rounds.
* Abilities synergise with specific units. Take that in to consideration, when configuring the roster.
* Quads are unreliable, so don't plan around them. Triples are much easier to get.

=== Action economy ===
* If you out number your opponent, you can force them to act before you by moving less important units first.
* This works best when you are not yet engaged in combat.
* Remember that you can use the Wait action to further push this agenda.
