===Baiting and Feinting===

Fleeing from a battlefield is not always a sign of cowardice. It can also be used to bait an opponent out of position or force him into a position he doesn't want to be in. The best example of this could be a unit of Spears fleeing from a charge of Bretonnian Knights. God knows you don't want to take that charge in the face, so you opt to flee with your Spearmen. He now has two choices: Take a Ld. test to charge something else or roll for the Spears. Say that you have a unit of White Lions or Sword Masters next to the Spears. Does he really want to re-direct into the Lions or SM? Or does he want to risk the charge and risk exposing his flank to the Lions?

Do you see what you just did here? A simple flee can put your opponent between a rock and a hard place (especially if the charge is long). Both scenarios equally suck for him, so he might opt to not charge at all. This is also good for you because it gives you the chance to charge his Knights the next turn! And if he doesn't opt to charge, your Spears will still be there to assist in the main battle. Warhammer can be a game of cat and mouse, so it's best to know all the options available to you before you commit. If you plan on charging something, know all the possible reactions your opponent can take before investing. You don't want to be in the same shoes as the above player.
