Wargame Tactics: Play better tactics to win more games


Wargame Tactics

Because better tactics win more games!

   

What Secret Tactics Will You Find?

A Warhammer 40k game in play

Over the years last 30+ years that have been playing and studying wargame tactics I have accumulated a wealth of tactics. You will find these tactics in these pages.

Be prepared to dig around the site to find these gems. But when you have these gems be prepared to spring your new master strategies on your helpless opponents (manic laughing in the background)

Table Top Wargames vs. Board Games

Table Top Wargames are different to board games because you have much more flexibility in the movements and strategy compared to board games. The other main difference is that table top wargames have pieces of scenery to play around. These scenery pieces could be make-shift, like a pile of books representing hills and buildings, up to very realistic set-ups much like you may see on a model train setup.

Tactics Vs. Strategy

There is a difference between tactics and strategy, and not many people know what it is.
Tactics deal with the abilities of different types of each troop and vehicle. When to use each type and the best configurations for particular situation.

Strategy deal with how to win games as a whole. How to use all your army together, for example the art of sacrificing a squad to win a battle.

This site covers both these aspects. The Army Lists will lead you each army squad by squad discussing the pros and cons of each. The General Strategy section leads you through the most common strategies pointing the way for you to create your own cunning plots and manoeuvres.

Trade Marks

Warhammer, Warhammer 40k, are trade marks of Games Workshop. We respect all their trade marks, copyrights and hard work creating the games we enjoy.

What's Here

  • Warhammer 40k
    Warhammer 40k is the futuristic version of popular Warhammer science fiction table top war-game. Between the three Games Workshop games Warhammer 40k is probably easiest (least complex rules).
  • Warhammer Fantasy
    Warhammer Fantasy  wargame is set in a fantasy setting of wizards, dragons, and mythical creatures. Warhammer Fantasy has more rules than the Sci-fi version so it appeals to the more mature player. The races available are similar to 40K with approximately 15 different armies available to choose from.
  • Other Wargames
    In this section we will be looking at wargames where we do not have enough content to warrant there own sections.
  • Wargame Extras
    Extra features available on the Wargame Tactics site.
