Bait & Flee Tactics for Parent & Archer Detachment only
(1)
(1)There is no combat detachment to counter-charge the enemy, so they can charge the archers and then overrun/persue into the parent. You must prevent the enemy from getting a charge against your parent unit.
(2)
(2)The parent unit reforms to face the enemy at an angle making sure they are facing a point about 14" from the current location of the enemy cavalry. The archers run forward into a wedge formation that screen the parent unit from a charge, placing the closest archer to the left side of the enemy unit. The enemy is unable to go around the archers.
(3)
(3)The cavalry declares their charge on the archers and the archers flee at a slight angle to the left.
(4)
(4)The archers could not flee far enough since they were only 2" away from the enemy and the enemy cavalry catches and destroys them at the full charge distance!
(5)
(5)The enemy is now exposed to a flank charge by the parent unit and easily defeated!
