Total War Warhammer/Tactics/Bretonnia

This is the tactics page for the Total War: Warhammer version of Bretonnia.

Why play Bretonnia?

Because you want to see the glorious knights of old ride down heretics, traitors and scum and you don't care how many peasants have to die to make it happen.

Pros

• Cavalry: The widest selection of heavy cav in the entire game, each being able to fill out different purposes. While a minority of other cav units can go fisticuffs with your horse boys, you are one of THE cav factions.
• No $$$ required.: It's the only completely free faction. All you need is the base game and the Bretonnia download or the Repanse FLC and you get the entire faction (Minus 3 legendary lords if you only get Repanse)
• Air Force: You can really dominate the air if you wanted to invest into it. Louen combined with Hippogriff knights or Pegasus Knights can win most if not all sky engagements, and after that you can pick and choose your fights from the sky.
• Numbers: Your peasants cost about as what you invest in their infrastructure, AKA Nothing! You are more or less the only order faction that can effectively use swarm factions due to how cheap they are.
• High Armor: Aside from Peasants, you got a lot of armor on you, meaning your knights and more high tier units can be quite resilient especially with good micro.

Cons

• Piss Poor Infantry: Your Peasants fight with shitty cheap weapons at best or farmer's tools at worse, have bad leadership, armor, and defensive stats and even your "elite" infantry get their booties smack by most mid tier infantry. Playing Bretonnia means conceding the frontline in most cases.
• Bad Artillery: Don't let the memes fool you, trebuchets suck in this game. relatively low accuracy and large models mean they are easily sniped.
• Anti Large: Any opponent with a functioning brain will get anti large against you. Expect halberds or big anti large monsters to try to wipe your cav out.
