So, I just got my hairy ass handed to me in a 3000 p. game against bret. I want every bit of heindsight knowledge you can provide me with. If bret. has any weaknes I can use to my advantage, I'd like to know.
To my recallection he had:
40 men-at-arms f.cmd. + damsel lvl 2 life + feedback scroll
2*20 bowmen
2 trebuchets
5 yeomen music.
2*3 PK f.cmd.
9 QK f.cmd.
12 KoR f.cmd. + bsb w. virtue of empathy
8 GK w. valorous standard + prophetess lvl 4 life w. silver mirror
lord on pegasus w. gauntlet of duel, gromril helm, birthsword, virtue of conf., HA, shield.

I had:
33 gors AHW f.cmd. + lvl 2 shaman beast. w. dispel scroll, AHW + bsb w. beastbanner AS 2+
25 gors AHW f.cmd. + lvl 3 shaman shadow. w. stone of spite, power scroll, gouge-tusks, AHW
20 gors AHW f.cmd (ambush)
3*5 raiders w. music.
20 b.gors f.cmd. razor standard + b.lord w HA, talis. of pres., enchanted shield, ram. helm, sword of might, ironcurse icon.
20 b.gors f.cmd. totem of rust.
6 mino.AHW f.cmd, bloodkine w. biting blade
5 harpies
3 razorgors

Without making it into a battlereport, I'm going to highlight som key moments.
Ambushers rolls snakeeyes on an 8" charge, on a treb, later being blocked by PK.
I redirect his GK w harpies, moves lvl 3 wizard out of the unit and charge his GK.
Use stone of spite w ir.force. both his wizards has arcene gear destroyed. both suffer only 1 s4 hit each lvl 4 saves lvl 2 does not FUUUUU.... nothing happens on miscast.
Gk break 25 gors and overruns, lvl3 sham. panics. bret.lord overrun shaman in turn 2.
PK charge b.gors w t. of rust. b.gors gets frenzy, but only manages to deal 1 wound. PK breaks b.gors and overrun.
He avoids minos. and general bunker, these units end up fighting his infantry. Each turn he picks of a few wounds with magic or trebs.

Perhaps these "moments" doesn't offer much of an overall idea, on how the game went down but, in my view, it is these events that let to my defeat. I really need advice on how to get through that 2+ armoursave. Most the time even with 2 attacks on each mode,l I could only kill 1 at best 2 with s4 at one time s5, on my 33 gors with bsb. It was only by pure luck that the unit stayed in combat for 3 turns before being destroyed.

i think that you'll have to try and break his units rather than destroy them.'
use flank charges by chariots 3-4.
some miotaurs would be good as well.
finally what i find best but difficult is 2 mages, 1 shadow lvl 2
1 lvl 4 with death. first you use shadow and drop his I, then cast purple sun....... the rest i live to your imagination.

hope i helped.

Yeah shadow combined with death sounds good. About the chariots I don't know, I just see them beeing taken out by PK. Was thinking that Taurox or Slugtounge could do a number on Brets. 5 minotaurs w. GW. and Taurox, and 5 minotaurs w AHW. gorebull bsb w. beast banner

If it make you feel any better... that looks like a pretty hardcore torunament list he was running. I'm not familiar with Beastmen but your list looks a bit... softer. That could make all the difference, when your opponent brings all his big toys and you don't.

I might suggest another unit of harpies for WM hunting.

Might not be bad to put in some chariots either smash up the flanks and freak out those little knights.

Chariots sound good. You want to strand his units and grind them down/break them individually. Maybe try a lvl 2 bray shaman with skin of man, lore of death and a power stone/scroll for a suicide attempt at getting purple sun off on your first turn in his back yard? Risky yes but will be a BIG distraction.
