Age of Sigmar - Top 5 Mistakes ALL Beginners Make 

Thank you! We're definitely working on more!

Thanks!

No doubt, it makes a huge difference!

Tbf, as a beginner, I don't get retreat. I retreat a unit and can't do anything anymore. Then my opponent charges the same unit I just retreated and kills em next turn. How do you use retreat?

If you're ever in a position where leaving a unit in combat means your unit is just going to die without doing any real damage back you're in most cases better off retreating. By retreating out you're keeping your unit alive this turn, forcing them to waste their turn killing the unit that would have already been dead, giving them a chance to fail the charge, a chance for you to rally, a chance for you to use redeploy to make their charge even longer, and if it's the end of a turn a chance for you to just move that unit somewhere else. All of those chances are better than just letting them die for no return.

Check out our Skaven video we did a few weeks ago, in the description of that one I put a few good example lists for people to try (I just forgot to mention it!). For my exact challenge list it's always changing as I try new things and I try to keep it under wraps so people don't build to specifically counter what I do!

Hey, they even had to add rules about retreating into your book because you Khorne guys kept doing it...

@@warpfireminis I prefer to call it strategically backing away, thank you very much.

Doing kill 'em all battles can be fun, but in the long run gets pretty stale (to me); some armies are just a lot more kill-y than others too. Pretty much every war game that exists includes objectives/missions/points, but you get to choose how you play; if you want to throw points out the window and just kill stuff go for it, it just won't likely lead to wins.

Points!
