Siege of Bordeleaux - DWARFS vs BRETONNIA - Total War: WARHAMMER 2 Cinematic Battle

[@Comicsluvr]

And the Great Book of Grudges said "Bretonnia still owes the Dawi 12 gold crowns and three shillings for construction work completed two centuries ago on the castle we just tried to flatten."

[@KingofFreaks]

Imagine what would happen if they managed to flatten the castle and on the war reparations it says “ Bretonia will pay the Dawi back for the castle.”

Actually it was only 2 coins, still a very serious grudge however.

[@АлександрДараган-з8ц]

Dwarves: we have artillery, combat engineers, explosives and close air support, ideal for laying siege to opponents who are stuck in High Middle Ages. Also dwarves: to hell with all that stuff, frontal assault, everyone!

[@Iwanwahid1969]

@@Fire_of756 they actually dont hate advanced tech...well...as long as those advanced tech are a few thousand years old I guess and have been tested literally a million time to their face that it is working as intended. What they built cannot even be bested by a lot of faction in Warhammer Fantasy except for Skaven, Lizardmen, Empire and maybe Southern Empire.

Seen the airships with all the broadside cannons and was thinking it would be completely one sided, till the airships decided to only use the 1 bow gun, or when one finally did go broadside, it was to let the 1 guy with a musket shoot 😑

[@yuttorres2896]

But imagine if Bretonia got to use it’s cavalry right and if they had some troops outside of the castle

[@Iwanwahid1969]

yeah man, a cavalry faction in a siege battle is a total joke. Its like fighting the Mongol in Medieval 2 but in Siege Battle, which will totally wrecked their cav in urban battle.

[@discipleaj]

@@Iwanwahid1969 Totally agree. Cavalry would be out in the open field, utilising speed and ferocity for blunt force charges, flanking attacks across the open plains and counter attacks against enemy reserve sections stationed at the rear. This is done to divide the enemy forces up so that any front enemy assault on the walls is significantly weakened. Reserve Cavalry are stationed just outside the main walls and just behind it also. Both of these enable archers and artillery to concentrate fire more accurately. It also means that if the Cavalry stationed outside the walls has go retreat then they can do so under covering fire from the walls. If the enemy has archers and artillery then the Cavalry stationed outside the walls simply move to do more flank attacks. This just moves an enemy force further across an open plain which breaks their ranks because they have to deal with pressure from their most vulnerable points. If the enemy spreads too thin leaving their archers and artillery exposed then reserve Cavalry can be released from behind the walls to do the initial charge which puts enemy archers and artillery under great duress because once the Cavalry closes with them they're pretty much routed. You can then release bulk of troops from behind the walls onto the open plains to engulf an enemy who's ranks are broken, spread too thin to counter attack and had its own archers and artillery all destroyed if they haven't fled already.

[@tarrker]

Those airships can really take a beating. Strange that they're not doing any broadside attacks, though. Is that not a thing in this game?

[@SolusLupi]

They can and do it is just implimented very akwardly due to how the engine handles unit attack types. The main cannon on deck is the 'primary weapon' so when given an attack order that is what is used. All the other cannons are 'autonomous riders' I.E seperate units hooked to the main blimp unit sort of as if an infantry block were all standing on the head of one unit. Those other cannons thus cannot be given a direct attack and target order they all operate autonomously hence the name and target whatever they please when their cone of fire enables them to shoot.

[@tarrker]

@@SolusLupi interesting. I did see a sort of broadside attack later in the video, tho. Probably just by chance.

So apart from the fact that the Bretonnians are allied with the Sylvan elves, I don't see why the dwarves are waging war with the Bretonnian men. In addition, they don't already have trouble with Chaos in the north, Greenskins, Skaven, ogres in the east, and Dark Dwarfs in the south.

[@SolusLupi]

I see you have never had the grudges against Bretonnia pop. It really takes a very slight insult for the Dawi to march on ya, and the Brets have a habit of being haughty assholes to the dwarves every bit as bad as Asur.
