Hi All!

About three months ago I started a website about Age of Sigmar Tactics: https://aos-tactics.com. Today I finished my 8th post.
This one is about using the retreat for more than saving your butt. I hope you like it, feedback and input are very much appreciated!

Summary

Only retreat in 1 of 3 scenarios
* You can save one unit without sacrificing another
* You need to use movement abilities or charge in your next turn
* You can apply pressure to objectives or key targets

Apply pressure by Retreating
* Towards an objective
* Using your charge and pile in to get closer
* Capturing the objective with the outer edge of your models bases
* Screening the objective to prevent your opponent from capturing it with a charge or pile-in

* Towards a Key target
* Using your charge and pile in to get closer
* Preventing the pursuit

Stop the pursuit by
* Screening with a cheap or durable unit
* Moving further than your opponent can move and charge
* Locking your opponent down with another unit

Love the article, I'll actually have to start using this mechanic that I completely forgot about....

As always a great article with good suggestions. Good job!
