SAGA Age of Vikings: Welsh

[@jean-louisbeaufils5699]

I play them with 1 point of bow levies, which I put in the best cover I can as close to the center of the table as possible, and 5 points of (usually) mounted warriors in 3 units of 10-12 and one of 6. I started with the small warrior unit at 4 as a dice generating one, but quickly found out that beefing it up a little made it very useful for cleaning up enemy remnants in the endgame. Generally speaking I find warriors a better buy than hearthguards except when specific board abilities favor the latter because they generate the same number of attack dice per point, but the warriors are more resilient. I usually put a banner on one of those big warrior units and end up regretting it. You have to be a really good player to really benefit from a banner and I'm not there yet. This said with this compo I've wiped from the table (zero dice victory) a couple players from the French top 10, and many from my club. The main error players make against the Welsh is using up their fatigue in combat. The Achilles heel of the Welsh is their fatigue, which can be used to cut their activation/reaction range to S (or nothing, but S is very cost-effective), preventing them from retreating and/or evading charges.

take no horses...it is my opinion :)

That is also a possibility, but I enjoy mounted factions too much!
