I'm agreeing with Toxicpixie. Protect your flanks. Possibly put stronger units there to protect your line. A mix of shooting & infantry. Shoot units that are going to possibly used as flankers. Make them a priority target. Advance in line, don't let units get isolated & unsupported.

Take this with a grain of salt, as I have not played a single game, I've only read 3 battles.  I think the Dwarves won one of them though!

Otherwise with that "all warriors" you're setting yourself up as Harold G at Hastings...

:D

Great analogy toxicpixie!

I also agree with your assessments.  You need a flexible multi-capability force to achieve success in Warband.  'One trick ponies' seem to suffer.

I would like to see how an all shooting force would perform.

Very nice figures, and exqusite narrated battle, a pleasure to read.

Specially like the look of the gnome (now I am thinking in buying a gnome army pack mmmmh)

I wonder why dwarves did not attack to goblins archers instead stay sitting in the line waiting to be break

Orks n goblins seems to be though in warband, great.

thanks for sharing the game

Lovely looking little chaps and a good read.

Never played a game but history mentions the use of echelon to counter flanking problems (see Alex the Great and Fred the Big for more details). Or alternatively, anchor one flank on a static object like a unfordable river or the edge of a cliff.
