I would like to ask you about a style of play called Anvil and Hammer. The idea is to take a 30-man block of skeletons with full command, h/w shields and banner of undying legion as an "anvil" unit. You then take a unit of chariots, a tomb scorpion, or even a unit of tomb guard with a champion and a "Hammer" unit. You charge/ get charged with the unit of skeletons who play a battle of attrician (spelling again) with enemy until in the next turn when the "Hammer" unit smashes from side or rear. This does serious damage and i want your opinion as to whether it could be a viable tactic in games as low as 1000pts, where our poor skeleton's necessity for general and hiero dominate the points. Assuming this is effective would this not easily win back the 100 points lost assuming the unit dies. Also in small battles of 1000pts i see no problem as numbers will be few and casting concentrated
P.s. being new to this, could u explain the credit system, i have 238 at the moment.
