I have played against wood elves several times, and they have one the most ANNOYING tactics in the game. The person I play against skirts around my units to the point where I cannot even face him. Even when I try to box him in, they still manage to slip out. Any advice on how to take them on? I don't play about 1000 at the moment, and I typically use units of 20 (either halberdiers or swordsmen) and I like to use some crossbowmen/ handgunners mixed. We try to make tournament lists instead of specialized lists.

Have you considered a mortar or two? Should be able to rain fire without worrying about how he's moving.

Also magic missiles are pretty nifty against them Wood Elves, especially if he's using little nippy units.
