Hi

After seeing a couple of armies that spam levies, fire and flee, and Feigned flight, I'm trying to think what are the counter measures that could be taken in general.

I mostly play with a friend that plays wood elves, and so far I can only do 2 things: use some claw positioning to catch their unit when they run away or make then run (not usable if they deploy way more units than me or I didn't bring enough speed to catch them) the other thing is to try to make them flee with a terror unit, and there are not many units that can be bring inside the same army.

I was thinking that a punchy ambusher unit could also do the work

Or have an army that relies heavily on random movers. The problem with this type of strategy is the same as fire and flee and reserve move rules, making the game non interactive and boring... But I guess I'm talking about winning not having fun with my questions

I have an Orc&Goblin army and I'm building an Empire of Man one, but I'm more interested in a general solution that many armies could apply

Hi,

Context:

I'm finishing my Orc&Goblin army already and the Empire is next to me.

I got my Battalion box, a box of Outriders, a box of Free company militia, a box of Flagellants, a general and bsb, a witch hunter and a Warrior priest.

I really liked the idea of building a City state of Nunl army with the things I have, but also later I want a bigger army religious fanatic theme: witch hunters and warrior priests everywhere with the altar of Sigmar.

Question:

What is the optimal Configuration for state and missile troops from the battalion box? I understand that meta players might want to have full Outriders for core, I think the idea of few drops with detachment of handgunners is cool but I don't know if a single unit of 30 halberds is either effective or makes it a death star and not fun to play against. I don't know if 20 is enough and build the 10 remaining ones as hand weapon and shield and some crossbow state troops for my Witch hunter army
