Should I add rare?

[Otarin]

Going against a Bret, 1500pts, who's heavy on the horses. 15 with a damsel in the middle

I figure 35GG can withstand his big charge (also not decided on swords and boards or GW's)

Given the rules of the campaign, I have to field my original 500 pts

5 HW
5 DW's
24 skelies FC (can split just have to have 24)
X2 Zombies as full command as they get for 20

Heoes and Lords for the rest (necro and baby blender)

He keeps most of his magic as far away as possible to cast and peasants hiding in forests.

I think he'll concede once his lance is finished but he does have his hero and BSB on the front.

My two questions are;

1. Should I be worried about not bringing the rare? He is bret and TG' won't do much.
2. Use GW on the GG because once that charge is done, his cavalry is nothing or swords and boards to better stand the charge?( does get a 5+ ward save on str 6 attacks or something)



* I can easily challenge him at 2k or 2.5k as I have a TG, CC, CH's, can proxy a BK bus, Etc

1. A TG - WILL UTTERLY DESTROY HIM! Best weapon in our book against Brets.
2. I would take GW to cut through armour even though you have Killing Blow. The Shield will do nothing against their S5 Charge.

Well, the big guy didn't do so hot last time I let him out.

Will definitely try him again. Thanks

Try to bottleneck with terrain so he will trouble bringing all his lances to bear.
Always do your best to hide the TG from trebuchets before swooping in to scream.
Always keep the big guy out of their charge arcs and away from combat.
Don't go too wide with the GG. 7 is the most I would go at this point level and against Brett's.

Had to go 2000 but I got Fido in there and the 35 GG

Might even use this on the 'Goat' square I want.

I have a CH/Cg/ME army as a back-up plan.

Thanks
